Scott Brown MA: 'Let America Be America Again'

"Let America Be America Again" 

From Scott Brown MA

What Senator Scott Brown's campaign is doing here is explaining the two visions of what makes America work, the philosophies that about how you make America work so Americans can make it in America. Meaning being successful and being able to live on freedom in America. 

One vision for how to make it in America is bipartisan that's about opportunity and freedom, what President Bill Clinton who was a Progressive Democrat (meaning real Progressive) called the opportunity society. 

And the other vision being about more government and that no one really makes it in America. Those wealthy people who came from nothing didn't make it on their own, they had help from government. Which would be the left-wing vision for how people make it in America. 

Senator Brown is obviously taking the side that what Americans need to make it in America is just a good opportunity, even if they came from poverty, or a lower-middle-class background. And he's trying to pit his opponent Professor Elizabeth Warren on the side of the Democratic Socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders and others in Congress who are always arguing for more government intervention, especially Federal intervention, as well as more taxes, especially on the wealthy. 

I think this is a very effective ad, even in a state like Massachusetts that gets labeled as a very left-wing state, but that has a lot of blue-collar, as well as white-collar, wealthy people, especially in Boston and isn't as left-wing as it gets stereotyped.
