26. Yeah, it is for sure. It's also about explaining things better
If we're going to be the party that takes fiscal responsibility in the form of taxes, then we need to explain to the naive and ignorant just what taxes do for them. We need to ask them if they'd rather have lower taxes and fewer parks and recreational areas or if they'd rather see the wealthy pay their fair share, resulting in better parks, roads, safer cities, better schools, more places to hike, hunt, & fish, and so on. I honestly don't think half the voters even realize what taxes are for. We need to frame it differently and we need to explain things in simpler terms so anyone can understand, even some of the morons who voted Republican last time.
