Orwellian changes in the language
« on: April 26, 2017, 11:50:02 pm »
It has been accurately said, I believe, that he who controls the language controls the terms of the debate.

As regarding dynamic scoring, for instance, liberals have re-labeled supply-side economics as "trickle-down economics." 

But conservatives are not entirely pristine in this regard, either.

For instance, conservatives have re-labeled the estate tax as "the death tax."

I think it would be well if we would all speak more neutrally...
