Four Question Recruitment Rap[Billionaire approaches Republican at event. Fancy leather/silver clipboard/folder in hand with simple checklist of Four Questions]
Hi, excuse me Ma'am/Sir. My name is ________ and I'm with Billionaires for Bush.
1. Are you a Bush supporter? Do you plan to vote for the president in the elections this fall?
Excellent. Of course, so am I. So we're recruiting for Billionaires for Bush this evening. I wanted to ask you:
2. Do you feel, as we do, that the president is doing a good job on the economy?
Great, and...
3. Do you support the president's brilliant tax cut packages, the ones that delivered 40% of the benefits to the top one percent of taxpayers?
Excellent, we love the tax cuts too.
- or - if they hesitate, or aren't so sure they like those tax cuts:
Well, I know it's a complex issue, but we think very highly of these tax breaks.
So like I said, I'm with Billionaires for Bush and we're recruiting new members. Now we also accept multi-millionaire into our ranks, so I need to ask you
4. Is your net worth in the seven to ten figure range?
No? (seeming very puzzled) Well that's strange... I mean, I'm glad you're supporting the president, but you and most other taxpayers didn't get much from these tax packages (and Bush's policies have made it harder for states to pay for basic public services like education and police). But I'm so glad that you're supporting our president regardless... Please take a flyer just in case you get lucky and marry into wealth. And thank you for paying more than your fair share.

Rap Tips:
- Stay in character, as positive, Bush-supporting billionaires.
- Speak clearly but keep a good pace so they don't get impatient.
- Our goal is to underscore the fact that Bush has helped the wealthy (that's us) but done little for working folks, except reduce funding available for education, police etc.
- We do this by showing our confusion (and delight) when we find out there are Bush supporters who are neither billionaires nor, even, millionaires.
- Once we do this, hand them a flier and move on to the next person. There is no need to engage in debate.
