Free market, Social Security, Medicare, religion...and you can add flat tax or fair tax and entitlement reform...there are all of these things that we KNOW the answer to, we know how they could or should be done. But NO ONE lives there. They aren't going to vote for the guy with the best tax plan or the best written out plan for comprehensive immigration reform. They are going to vote for the guy with a blow torch in his hand and an army behind him that will "do" instead of "talk."
They live day-to-day in the world that was largely built by the left as the Republicans dithered around with military contractors and energy money. And we don't offer them anything except theories - good sounding theories - but the flat tax or the fair tax are NEVER going to happen in our lifetimes - if suddenly no left wingers existed in any federal office, you could do it. That ISN'T EVER going to happen. I don't care if you live two lifetimes, you will never see it. So stop offering up wonderful new plans that NO ONE cares about. Stop talking - start banging around in the basement, clearing the rot out.
