Mr Luntz is at it again, doing what he does best: Making Stuff Up for purely Politcal Gain!
Wall St Consultant Frank Luntz Pens Memo On
How To Channel Economic Anxiety Into Protecting Wall St Abuses
Lee Fang, ThinkProgress – 02/01/2010
[…] Luntz, who gained national recognition for his role in shaping the buzzword-heavy Contract for America with Newt Gingrich in 1994, has built a sizable business selling his messaging advice to both corporations and Republican campaigns.
The new memo instructs opponents of financial reform to simply lie about reform legislation, and to twist economic anxiety resulting from the recession into fear of any government effort to fix the underlying cause of the financial crisis. The most dishonest argument is that financial reform would “punish” taxpayers while rewarding “big banks and credit card companies.” In reality, top financial industry lobbyists are not only fighting proposed oversight regulations, but have said recently that they are opposed to “any regulation” at all.
