9. Prosperity for whom?
Good heavens, this looks like the robber barons' wet dream:

"Limit taxes to create jobs." Yeah, that really worked well on the national level during the horrendous Bush years, didn't it? We handed the keys to the Treasury to the greediest motherfuckers on the planet, and the economy hemorrhaged jobs.

"Repeal the order allowign state employees to unionize." Because as we all know, a fragmented work force that's at each other's throats in a race to the bottom is a cheap work force that doesn't have any money to spend.

"Oppose single payer health care." Collective bargaining is for wimps; real men negotiate on their own against megacorporations with unlimited resources. You're not a bunch of wimps, are you?

And on and on. Does this claptrap still play with a majority of Coloradans?
