This is a fantastic article. I wonder if removing all the old terminology and simply focusing on solutions without labels could help.

Jargon and propaganda are so inflammatory, it feels like we need to find a way to promote solutions without using them.

Btw, I too have no trouble paying taxes. I never have. I prefer the expression "tax benefits" to "tax burden" because I prefer to focus on the benefits of pooling resources to solve problems individuals can't solve. Building highways is not supporting lazy people! That would be my response to that argument.

Thanks for all the research and effort you put into this. I love reading pieces that are well-researched.
