I was just pointing out the language control and how it can effect public perception.
more extreme examples = Fairness doctrine, Pro choice
1/4 million sounds better or worse than $25000
I noticed the change in the language last week..............smart actually.
Now about the 250,000 sure it’s “more than enough to live on” the difference is in the philosophy. Lets say Joe the plumber’s taxes go up 5k. I believe Joe will spend the money the Govt. wants to take from him in taxes in a far more constructive manner than the govt. will. IMO the govt. will put Joe’s 5k into some program that should only cost 500, effectively wasting 4500.00
Money isn’t our problem, spending and inefficient Govt, programs are. Do you ever get what you pay for in Govt. spending?
I’d rather him spend it in our economy than give it to uncle sam who has a long history of wasteful spending.
