Bump and a Ping!

I just want to keep up with the definitions ;>)

[trebb]

truth, n. Irrelevant information that would only get in the way of liberal progressiveness.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

progressive - a person who defines progress as taking more money from taxpayers to give it to government unions and people who don't pay taxes.

conservative extremist - a person who believes the Constitution means what it says.

moderate - a person who can't make up their mind between two views until they are 1. told which is right by a reliable source, such as major media; 2. paid by someone to decide in that party's favor.

cost of tax cuts - this is the speculative future cost to the government of not taking your future earnings at the current usurious rate. The cost is magnified by multiplying it over ten years, so a $30 billion "cost" becomes a $300 billion cost. This cost is always figured using no increase in the overall revenues of the country, even though every tax cut has increased tax revenues.

Ping

[Nonfaction]

rights, n. Anything involving a transfer from "haves" to "have-nots" (see above). As in, "Basic health care/a good education/decent housing/a secure retirement/etc. is a right of every American."

Hoarding: What people, who have squandered all their resources, accuse those who have saved of doing. By demonizing the saver as being a "hoarder," it is easier to send the government to confiscate the private property of the saver and distribute the loot to the jealous have nots---who will then squander that too.
