22. platforms are not slogans

but we all want slogans because they encapsulate and permit us to be 'members' of that tribe.

So looking at the platform, it is so "me-generation" repelling me.

I think we should instead speak primarily about WEALTH this cycle; much of the OP platform falls into one of four categories as follows.

We believe in a federal government that
* grows the COMMON WEALTH
* grows our ECONOMIC WEALTH
* grows our POLITICAL WEALTH
* grows our SOCIAL WEALTH

This is ready made for lots of debate... because barriers need be (easily) identified and (strategically) then torn down.
