Rush:
Yesterday you revealed that Medicare is purchasing air time on your show to put out so-called public service announcements. The spot started out well enough (how Medicare is working to stamp out fraud), but it quickly descended into blatant propaganda for Obamacare.
This is a potential public relations pitfall for you. NPR takes money directly from the government and you take money from the government indirectly in the form of justifiable confiscatory advertising rates.
Well this cannot stand! It makes you look like a sell out for accepting their ad money. So ... you should publicly announce your awareness of this image dilemma. Your solution would make the left CRAZY!!
You take their side! Let me explain.
You set up a trust fund, say called the "Patriot Trust" or "Tea Party Trust." (he-he-he). Into this trust you deposit all ad revenue from government sponsored entities. Now. Since it is our tax money that is paying for the ads that the left is using to propagandize to us (your audience), you have the duty to re-distribute the wealth of the trust fund back out to YOUR listeners. WE ARE YOUR "UNION" MEMBERS. After all ... isn't that what the government is doing? They are re-distributing to THEIR audience.
Of course, how you divvy up the money is entirely up to you. You would have to set up a secret investigative arm to vet all individuals that would potentially benefit from your re-distribution network. George Soros has his ... you have the right to yours. This extra expense of bureaucracy will force you to raise your advertising rates (taxes). But it's government money ... they can afford it! Or should I say my grand kids will cough it up some day.
But it doesn't stop here. Why reward just your audience? There are many patriots out there that have just recently awakened to the statist power grab underfoot. They are not necessarily listeners of your program. So now you have to up the stakes. First we find other patriots that are benefiting from government cheese in some way. We get them to pledge their indirect Federal income stream directly to the "Tea Party Trust." While this is all incubating, you set up a plan to distribute a portion of the fund to registered Republicans who will pledge to abandon the GOP and join the New Tea Party. At some point you could open up your re-distribution plan to conservative Democrats who have been abandoned by the radical left. How you would do this, I don't know.
This is the plan if you wanted to take the step of marginalizing the GOP to minority third party status. If you just want to use this for illustrative purposes, you could pledge the money to Facebook fans. That would set up a problem. Democrats would be stampeding to your Facebook page. You would still have find a way to make the fans prove that they were not Democrats.
