I would add the "Earned Income Credit"! How the hell did a freebee get a handle like that???
TRUTH, what was that movie about the guy that had to all ways tell the truth--Jim Carey--- AH, Liar-Liar
We are raised to all ways tell the truth until you get to be about 6 years old and blurt out a truth that causes unfortunate consequences for the parents.
Now we teach the kids about White Lies, Tact, and Gobbligly Gook to sort of tell the truth but cover it with flattery.
Some where down the line some very mean and aggressive people will use the truth as a weapon against you. There excuse for their meanness is, they tell it like it is no matter who gets hurt or offended.
If Politicians and everyday people had to tell the straight honest truth for one week, riots would break out, family's would split up and chaos would happen to the world.-----Sort of like Wikieleaks.
Diogenes was looking for an an honest man only to KILL him before others followed his lead.
