We shouldn't be pushing to call it an "estate tax," even if that's what it is. Call it a hoard tax, which labels it more accurately.

Fossil fuel companies don't "contribute to climate change. They produce toxic air conditions.

Let's stop beating around the bush with "income inequality" and take it back to what it was originally called: endless greed.

It sucks to have to dumb down ideas, but without that, we'll never make progress with people who see education as an enemy.

As always,lie to people and fool them.
The dumbocrat campaign model for decades.

2. It's the whole softening of language that bothers me.

Like when Global Warming became Climate Change and I understand the reasons behind it but look how soft it became. "Oh the climate is changing, that doesn't sound too bad." I've heard people say that shit.

You changed it because your sky is falling bull shit was not happening.

5. Also, they're not 'Regulations'

They're 'Protections'

In plain english...You are idiots.

Go for it, Progs! The normal people you contemn will see right through your euphemisms and tendentious slander. They don't share your hatred for creators and successful people. But go ahead! You'll just lose a few 10s of thousands of votes ... per state.

You know, my grandpa told me one time that the easiest person in the world to lie to is yourself. You'll believe anything you say.
The magnitude of such wisdom didn't click until I got a little older. And there it is...

BoobyD, you are way late to the game.

Democrats have been doing this for decades. The Clinton era called it spin.
Obama went full blown propaganda ministry on us.
Obama care = the Affordable Care Act. No one can afford either the premiums or the deductibles.
rebranding = lies...and that is what the democrats have ALWAYS been about.

They tried to rebrand gun control as 'gun safety'

Rebranding=lies.

Everybody already can see through all this language bullshit.  Take the naming of bills.  It always means the exact opposite of what it does.  Remember card check was called "employee free choice act" or some such nonsense?  It's laughable. 

Also, the "hoard tax" may prove difficult to discuss out loud.  Or hilarious.

Uhhh, I'm sure the dems already have their reasons for using the words they use. "Rebranding" isn't going to work, just like pretending swaths of American voters who "aren't worth democrats' time" don't exist won't work, and attacking conservatives incessantly won't work.

And these dumbasses wonder why they lose elections. As always with them it's style over substance.

Keep that up dummies. Keep talking down to us simple folk. Keep telling us we are stupid and voting against our best interests. It worked out so well for you back in November!

Freaking morons.

Apologies to the innocent democrat filth and those that suck my taxes ...

yo biblical ritual the sh(eye)t to get rid of yo pain
Hearing your pitiful game,
this is political pain
Deep in the pit of yo brain let it rain

I don't wanna be the one
to get a milimeter in the gut
I wanna be the one to hit' em with another milli
Cut up in the middle I'm a little sick
And different And I meant it
when I said it you remember that?

Say some punks around and some punks get ghost
(BREATHE!)
Spray guns might result in you bussin' some
(BREATHE!)

with a unforgettable aim
