How can the party that represent the wealthy 1% of a country win any elections?

Lets pretend we have a fictional country called Majorica, and in majorica there is a party that we shall call the RICH party. The rich party is only interest in making the rich richer and cares about nothing else. You have been hired to be their party boss and leader. What strategies would you use to earn your $10 million dollar salary and make sure that the RICH party wins as many elections from here on out as possible? What dastardly techiquest would you used to convince the rest of the people ..even the middle class and the poor to vote for the RICH party?

How can the party that represent the wealthy 1% of a country win any elections?
I don't know which party you are talking about seems like


Hillary and Obama have spent more money than any of the others. Didn't Hillary just say she loaned her own campaign


5 million dollars. How can you loan your campaign money


how can you legally repay a loan you made to yourself out of money that people


give for you to campaign with?
Reply:let's see. Make everyone as fearful as possible. Fearful of a gay agenda, fearful of people that don't look like "us", fearful of people that did not actually attack our center of commerce, so fearful that they will gladly surrender their rights and freedoms because we have kept them attack free since the last attack(as if we were getting attacked on a weekly basis or something), fear fear fear, maybe fear of a black planet this time around.
Reply:The RICH party is probably trying to make the POOR party look bad.
Reply:When your main contributors own the majority of the media and are the companies that make the voting machines.
Reply:1. Tell them that the other party will raise their taxes. Base this on the fact that the other party wants to raise taxes on the Rich, but make the people think that is about them.





2. Find some half-truth, or if all else fails, make up a total lie about the other candidate. Make sure it is plausible so people will believe it. Make sure you say it months before the election so that by the time the elections comes around people will remember it, but not who said it and they will think that it is true.





3. Find the 'hot button' for the majority of people and push it. Make it seem that a vote for your party will keep this bad thing from happening.





4. Most Americans are good, hard working , moral people. They do not like anything that rocks the boat. Show them that the other party will toss them out of the boat, but your party will not only keep the sea still, but give them a yacht to sail in it too.





5. Lie early and often. Most people are rather naive and gullible. Use it to your advantage.





6. Paint a picture of your candidate as being like the voter and the other candidate as one of 'those' people. Now this can be a bit tricky because your candidate will have to change what he looks like with each group, but it can be pulled off if you teach him to talk well without really saying anything that can really pin him down.





7. If all else fails, pay someone to rig the election machines in one important state that usually gets the most electoral votes for the other party.

Reply:I would see to it that the wealthy were invested well into an economy that supported war, both in supplies, ammunition, R%26amp;D, and the like.





I'd then rally support for a war, necessary or not, and suggest that anyone who did not back this war was a traitor to the nation. The wealthy would profit from this war, and a significant portion of citizens would be bullied into voting for the rich party. On top of that, supplying the poor with opportunity to reach the middle class through military service would endear them to the party of war, as they believe they benefit from it.





Military-industrial complex, Eisenhower told us to fear it, and with good cause.
Reply:Well, first of all, I assume by the 1% representation thing, you mean that financially they represent the policies that benefit the 1% elite first and foremost, making sure the 1% are always taken care of. I agree. Here is what I would do. I would cause division amongst the people to get them to see scape goats as the cause of problems in their lives...from gays to illegals, to other minorities. I would make issues like flag burning an issue and get people fighting over abortion as well. Right there I have already gotten a good chunk of the poor to join me in my financial war against them. In exchange I promise to fight for them to ban gay marriage, flag burning and abortion. Then to clinch it, I would start some wars and then rally the country around the flag accusing all who oppose the war of being traitors and saying that we need to fight this war forever, and then I would start as many wars as possible.why? cause wars are expensive and will draw money from social programs and bankrupt them and then we can say see govt does not work its not the answer. wars are also very distractive as the blind patriotic ferver that it encourages blinds the people from how they are being shafted and it makes them fearful and needful of protection. My party would be sold as the party that would give them that protection by being strong on wars and keeping them going. so now you see my party is now ready to win elections because I now have those social conservatives who are afraid of gays and dont want abortion and love their guns and hate flag burning on my side, I have the 1% rich of course, but I also will have the cowardly on my side as well who are so afraid of their shadow that they will vote for my party cause we are the ones who will protect them.
Reply:As much as I disagree with Republican policies, you have to admit that they represent more than just the top 1%. Many many poor and middle class people are part of the Republican party as well.
Reply:Control of media and politics through funding I obtain from my fellow rich people that are rooting for me, promote their control of companies which have a certain limited yet undeniable control of their workers thus all other people living in that country.





Spread fallacious arguments. Support of the philosophy that being rich is the most prestiguous and desirable thing for a human being, thus those methods and philosophies which allow getting as rich as possible are those which are best, even if it may be at the expense of others, and promote the illusion that any human being can become rich, and that the rules for it are fair, therefore it is good for there to be some people that are way too rich because you could be one of those people. But clearly that is not the case. Not to say that poor people don't become rich but being poor does not qualify you as being anybody.





also use any means possible to make poor people look like bad people, by emphasizing the criminal actions that being poor will cause many people to make. rather than pointing out you can help resolve these issues by eliminating or greatly reducing pauverty, just peg them as bad people and allow them the means such as handguns to help them promote this view themselves in order to help make a stronger case for you.





companies manage to sell a whole lot of garbage products to people through adverstisement which either misrepresents products or in a sense brainwashes people. you don't need to see a coke commerical, for example, because you don't realise or remember coke exists, yet companies like this pay alot to show you their products repetitively because they make more sales from that. this is a form of brainwashing or product propaganda. i don't see why selling you political ideas would be any different.





In short i would know that intelligence is a strong factor in people discerning what makes logical sense and what is fallacious.





I would also know that the difference between the poorest people and the middle class is often not necessarily an intelligence thing, just middle class can afford college and doesn't need to growup in a neighbourhood that promotes pauverty and pauverty prone ideologies and lifestyles.





then you have smarter people and/or just those that have alot of money and don't want to give it up.





so all you need to do is know how the human mind works and you only have the easiest minds to cloud, exploit the weakest minds. those of the middle class and lower class. the richer people you don't need to convince, them getting richer is good for them no matter what. those that see through the misdirection and are not rich or even those who are, are quite few and do not necessarily represent a danger in terms of votes. but some of them are out there trying to change minds nonetheless, but with less power, money and with less of a perception of being a reliable authority.





what i wouldn't do is have such a bad president that people start questioning the methods of governing to date.
Reply:Have you ever heard of this "Republican" party? Pretty much the same thing.





The tend to profess strongly the same religion and morals as the middle and poor class, and make them believe they are morally obligated to vote for them. Other than those issues, tax breaks to the rich galore once in office. The rich man is happy. er.
