Republicans to America: You're Morons

There's a document floating around the Web, which Josh Marshall has up at talkingpointsmemo.com, that it really funny. It's a 103-pagecongressional pamphlet, circulated among Republicans who want to privatize Social Security and there's a section called: "Communicating Social Security Reform" which tells you just what they think of us.

One tip: "Keep the numbers small: Your audience doesn't know how trillions and billions differ. They know these numbers are large, but not how large nor how many billions make a trillion. Boil the numbers down to "your family's share." Also avoid percentages; your audience will try to calculate them in their head -- no easy task while listening to a speech -- and many will do it incorrectly."

Then bounce your head from shoulder to shoulder, giggle and say "Math is hard!"
