The Historical Record

Headline:  Romney campaign decides its strategy isn't working. 

Hopefully it's not working because the American people finally realize Republican party public policy only works for rich Republicans.

Indeed, we tried it.  Three times.  It doesn’t work.  

Relieving the rich and the transnational corporation of their tax obligation only explodes the national debt, encourages  outsourcing, and leaves us unable to invest in that which actually leads to economic prosperity (education, infrastructure, leading the next boom) . 

We tried it in the 1920’s.  It led to the stock market crash and the great depression.  We tried it with Reagan/Bush 1, it led to Bill Clinton getting elected on the slogan “it’s the economy stupid.”  We tried it again with Bush 2/Cheney, it led to economic and fiscal meltdown.  

Clearly it’s not good for the country.   So here’s an idea: let’s not try it again.  Ever.  

In between these “conservative” failures we went with progressive policy.  Between the great depression and Reagan we build the great American middle class.  In between Reagan/Bush 1 and Bush 2/Cheney we created 23 million new jobs, tripled the stock market, and led the tech boom.  And after Bush 2/Cheney we turned around the greatest economic collapse since the great depression and now we’ve gained jobs for 28 straight months and the stock market has doubled. 

Scoreboard.

Election day is coming up America.  Let’s vote for America not the Chinese factory owners.  Let’s vote for Democrats, not Republicans.  Let’s vote for Obama, not Romney.  Let’s vote for success, not failure.  

Good luck, and God speed.
