Ssssssshhhhhhhh quiet, don't tell anyone but here's the plan. Stop listening to anyone who tells you otherwise but we have the perfect plan.
Keep talking down the economy so that the majority of America has a huge sense of urgency and even deep fear. Talk down any promising economic indicators as being only temporary or a fluke.
Pass this great big stimulus package, as soon as possible, so that there will be such humongous deficits for decades to come that any talk of cutting taxes can be down-played and even ridiculed.
Change the tax rates so that 60% to 65% of Americans will not pay taxes and that we have a permanent dependent majority voting block so that we can keep majority power for 50 years or more. Raise the tax rates to 70% or more on those actually paying taxes.
Concurrently bail out and nationalize the banking industry, the news media, the health industry and the energy industry so that national dependency and big government control can never be challenged nor overcome.
If we can successfully do that then we can effectively destroy the free market and defeat any hard right opposition as long as America exists.
That's the plan. Just try to stop us!
