Dear John,
I want to talk about something that is so scary, we need to find another word for it.
You see, all advanced capitalist countries pool their resources for the common good.
But here in the United States, conservatives seem to find a certain word for this practice so ... terrifying ... that we can’t even think or talk about it clearly.
So let’s call it something else ... something not so scary …
If you’re feeling particularly courageous today, I dare you to check out this week’s video. But be warned: I’m going to talk about some scary stuff!
As you and I know, public investment isn’t some evil socialist plot; it helps people. Our latest video uses a new approach to break through the fear mongering and make sure others also know the importance and power of pooling resources for the common good.
Sometimes we just have to face our fears. I think in the long run, we will all benefit -- even your conservative Uncle Bob!
