From a great Alternet post on using accurate language:
1. Never say Entitlements.
–Instead, say Earned Benefits.
Oh, that's a great idea. Put the lifetime welfare "gimme a check, bitch" goons on par with retired/disabled veterans. That's sure to work out for you real well.
2. Never say Redistribution of Wealth.
–Instead, say Fair Wages For Work.
Theft at gunpoint is still theft at gunpoint no matter how hard you try and make it sound pretty. Besides, the decent and civilized of this country are more than aware of how their wallets are being raped by looking around them. Your newspeak and doublethink will not change that.
3. Never say Employer Paid Health Insurance.
–Instead, say Employee Earned Health Insurance.
Once the employer stops paying for it, "employee earned" will no longer matter.
4. Never say Government Spending.
–Instead, say The People Are Investing.
Already been used by Gore/Lieberman in 2000. It was floated and promptly shot down as bullshit. People expect a return on their "investments", not watching it thrown down a hole.
5. Never say Corporate America.
–Instead, say Unelected Corporate Government.
"It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words."
Sorry, DUmmies, but 2+2 still equals 4. As long as conservatives exist, 2+2 will always equal 4.
