> I think people mean well when they re-use words like this.

You're being too generous.

That's the intent. There are many who benefit by maintaining the status quo. The last thing they want is to make things clear. When things are clear, the populace at large has a nasty habit of voting sensibly and in the process, disenfranchises the few who are benefiting at the expense of everyone else.

You have parasites on both sides of the isle. Ranging from unions to defense contractors. Clear and frank conversations are dangerous to people who draw a check from the government.
