Ever notice we don't get a "revenue refund"? Whenever my taxes go to the gubmint, they are revenue. Should I pay too much and declare it to be returned to me, it mysteriously becomes a "Tax" refund.........
Wordsmithing is a tool meant to do serious harm as it is practiced in Washington.
My favorite Democrat lie is the one where they claim they will "ask" the wealthiest Americans to "contribute more" when what they really mean is that they want to confiscate more at the point of a gun.
I always thought it would be fun to see some clever Republican (oxymoron, I know) announce that he agrees with President Ubama that the rich should be "asked" to pay more, and then submit a bill that provides for people to check a box on their IRS form that allows them to volunteer to send extra money to the treasury. Then the simple scum like Buffet and some of those other wealthy big-mouth Ubama supporters could send in as much as they wanted.
