    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    1. Because it's a sidestep to make the action more palatable to the public

    2. A payment garnered through monopoly on force and imprisionment that is not optional is not a revenue. You are being jacked.

    If the "business" of government depended on actual revenues and not theft they would be out of business in a day.

    Why? "Revenues" is an accurate word that encompasses income to the government from taxes, fees, sales, etc. The problem isn't the word, it's how Democrats have redefined the language so revenue only equals increased tax rates, moderate is now ultra-conservative and ridiculously radical is now moderate, "balance" only comes after they reset the scales by placing their collective arses on it, "shared burden" now means the government gets all your stuff and none of theirs, and "fair" means whatever the heck they want it to mean. Oh yeah, and you're a "racist classist homophobic denier" if you object to anything they want to do.
