Dems who say "Deficit" are pushing a Republican agenda! Use "Revenue" instead.

That's right, just using the word deficit means we are playing into the Republican framing.

WE DO NOT HAVE A DEFICIT PROBLEM WE HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM.

The fact is that corporations and the wealthy have stopped paying their fair share, the MAJORITY of R's and D's know this to be true.

NEVER use the word deficit, flip the framing and retort with revenue.

Don't give the R's the victory before the debate has even begun.

When they say "deficit reduction" answer with "revenue enhancement".

General Electric made $81 billion in profits in the last five years, paid ZERO taxes and got a $3 billion refund. We have a revenue problem.
