I need a witty response please....

[Indiana_Dem]

Hello! I haven't posted in probably over a year although I've been lurking on/off and much more lately as we get closer to the elections.

I need a witty response to put in my paper. You see, we have this column in our local newspaper called "You Said It" where people can say things anonymously. Now, near election-time, the newspaper censors many contributions that are too inflammatory or which singles out any party too blatantly.

Recently, for some odd reason...I guess because Repugs have too much money to blow....they've been sending terrible campaign material lambasting Democrats and asking people to vote absentee or to vote early. Here is one of the slogans I received today in the mail asking to vote early:

"Democrats are angry....and they are going to take it out on YOU. Liberal Democrats are angry and if they take power, they are planning a rollback of the tax cuts that have helped grow our economy. Higher taxes are coming if Democrats take control in Washington: Higher taxes on families, Higher taxes on single women with children, higher taxes on seniors, higher taxes on small business owners. Stop by your county elections office between Oct. 10 and Nov. 6 to cast your vote in support of Republican efforts to protect your pocketbook. Don't wait. Vote today. Failing to vote could be a costly mistake"....

Here is what I want to respond to so that all other people who've received this mailing will know what I'm talking about without mentioning Republicans:
"Hold on tight to your paycheck. Vote Republican."

I want to say something like "Hold on tight to your paycheck. The rich are getting richer and the middle class is getting poorer." But I don't think this is witty or catchy enough. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance,
Indiana Dem
