9. Education is the answer to both these questions and to Lunkhedtz'
willfully moronic obtuseness.

Frontline showed Luntz manipulating and monitoring a focus group, watching two chartlines converge as the guinea pigs fondled their feedback joysticks and having a little boygasm as the magic buzzword lit up at the climax point of the graph!!! The most manipulative WORD is _________!!!!! Oh joy!

On camera he explained why "death tax" made so much more sense the "estate tax" because "you pay it when you die." It does make much more sense to A Complete Illiterate. He delivered it with a convincing doltishness worthy of a Pauly Shore fan.

"#4. NEVER SAY Inheritance/Estate Tax
INSTEAD SAY: The Death Tax
While a sizable 68% of America thinks the Inheritance/Estate Tax is unfair, fully 78%think that the Death Tax is unfair. And while a narrow majority would repeal the inheritance/estate tax, an overwhelming majority would repeal the death tax. If you want to kill the estate tax, call it a death tax."

Let's fund education, rid schoolboards of the Religious Wrong, develop critical thinking skills and raise children to never lose their Bullshit Detectors.
