Poison the Well

Democrats have attempted to frame the terms of debate by corrupting the very language. To hear the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, talk about health care with what this plan will do for "workers" is a repulsive bridge to Marx ("workers of the world unite") and an affront to the vast majority of full-time workers who already had health insurance before this debacle which will only end up being a rights-limiting, net expense for them when all provisions of the law take effect. The manipulation of language to pit groups against each other is now stock and trade in the dirty Democrat playbook. The colored language is part of triangulation strategy that has sadly worked successfully since Bill Clinton used it at Dick Morris's behest in capturing the Presidency. But Nancy Pelosi is the consummate schemer in attempting to pull the rug out from the American Dream. Does Pelosi believe that "workers" are drone bees content and only qualified to stay in a persistent underclass, without the desire, aspiration, and formerly, before Democratic tax increases made it much harder to rise, the ability to lift themselves up the social strata? Never has a country existed like the American nation, never having a rigid caste or class system, where so many impoverished immigrants may soar to ownership in a single generation with their children often entering the professional classes. And let us immediately disabuse the idea that the rich do not work. Often the wealthy are successful because they work harder, work longer hours, work smarter, and delay gratification, so that they may accumulate productive assets. With the exception of inherited wealth, which is how the last several generations of Democrat Kennedys survived, and which is often squandered by idiot heirs, almost everyone who enjoys success in the United States has worked for it.
