How can we effectively counter right wing paranoia?

romneys tax plan is a huge wealth distribution scheme for the wealthy. People seem to realize this fact yet the insist that the rich are job creators and thus such nonsense would ultimately benefit them. That belief has been debunked by both historians and economists that have indicated a growing wealth gap and even higher levels of unsafe speculation which ultimately leads to economic crisis.

So how do we counter right wing rhetoric when the population has become more mindless than zombies? How do we make people understand that republican ideas will not reduce the deficit and grow the economy? It baffles and enrages me when the majority of Americans view the republicans as the champions of economic growth and debt reduction. Dont these people know the ills of privatizing social security and eradicating medicare? How can it be that after 60 years of Democratic social programs that have lifted this country into a Superpower status people are willing to give into greed that will ultimately only benefit the elite.

I bid you all, no matter what polls may say don't give in and do not give up! We must all step forward and defend against the evil and injustice perpetuated by the republican party.
