...I was wondering how in the hell Repubs would frame the battle against decent, living, wages...the challenge for all Fascists is how to you get voters, in what is supposedly a democracy, to vote AGAINST their own self-interest AND, by corollary, FOR the interests of the rich....here's how Christie tried it....

...he set up a straw-dog "argument" that no one is actually having...he re-framed it as a bunch of babies wanting "income EQUALITY"...now, no one has asked for income equality....we have always asked for equal opportunity, especially as the system has grown more and more oppressive.

He said it's a simple choice between "mediocrity" and "greatness"...you can smell the bullshit already. In other words, if you pay starving, overworked parents enough to feed their children, you'll get mediocrity...but, if you DON'T help them all earn enough to eat...you'll get GREATNESS!

...you can see it's going to be a really hard sell...... this is going to be fun.
