Why do the rich get a pass on paying back the deficit, shifting the burden to the rest of the people? Thats what the voter sees, more special priviledges for the rich. The rich wanted lower taxes, they got them, but things did not get better, and now all that borrowed money has to be paid back. The rich broke the deal - the deal was, lower taxes now for better jobs and more overall tax collections later - and the payback never came. All that happened was speculative bubbles that burst and left the people worse off than ever.

And the rich are saying, no, we dont want to pay our share. We are special. The rest of you pay it back, not us.

It's not a position that can win elections.

The fact that your best presentation for romney is "you dont think he would do healthcare reform" is again why you are losing.

People like the healthcare reform so far. So does wall street. They don't know whether it will be better in the long run, but they know they did not like the old system.

Telling the voter "republican policy is that you have to go back to the old healthcare" is a losing proposition, politically.

This is why you will almost certainly lose.
