Have you noticed that the democrats/media now have a new phrase for promoting tax increases?

The democrats have come up with a new way to make tax hikes sound like a slam dunk for improving things and of course this means the media followed along like baby ducklings following their mother. They now call a “tax increase” a “tax revenue increase”. They now say that republicans are against a tax revenue increase, not just a tax increase. Makes them sound so unreasonable doesn’t it? And as if a revenue increase is guaranteed if you put more taxes on our struggling businesses. Isn’t it nice how the media is so willing to aid democrats?

    Spin can spun further. 'Tax revenue increase' >>>>> 'Democrat tax revenue increase'

    The Elephant in the room is the average wage paid for doing a job in the globalized world. Just papering over the cracks just keeps bad politicians and bad policies in place for a little while longer.

    i also love how tax reductions are called give always and subsidies. How is allowing someone to keep more of his own money, which he earned, a giveaway?
