I am greatly enjoying your archives, keep up the good work. <br /><br /> This article got me to thinking about the "take back the language problem". I think all govt. debt should always be referred to as a "tax on the young ". <br /><br /> Also, when talking about tax policy, mandates, economics the points should always be made: <br />(1)."all costs are paid by the consumers" (exceptions would be if a business is destroyed by costs, which is actually worse). <br /><br />(2)."It is not the taxes that are bad, it's the spending". That is the part where government is hogging all the resources that could have been used by productive people. If govt. gets the money by debt or counterfeiting(selling bonds), it's actually far worse than if they had just taxed us. <br /><br />(3). "Don't let the (D)irtbags confuse you. Nothing is free. Complicated explanations and 'free' offers are signs of a scammer"<br /><br />(4). "Politicians are surrounded by the slickest salesmen in the country, and they want 'contributions' to get elected. Character matters! "<br /><br /> With the media against us it is hard to get a message out. Short, simple, easy to defend and hard to refute. My best results when talking to dems: "If you're registered to vote, you are likely to get jury duty" - rub it in with "you're likely to spend August getting 10$ a day while making a couple lawyers get rich". They want benefits, not duties, and envy eats at them hard -also, this is something their leaders have not told them(the scammers). This shuts them up very well, and seems to sour them on the whole voting thing. jfmorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958534016660980260noreply@blogger.com
