Words matter.

Always use simple direct language.

  • Help the poor
  • Healthcare for everyone
  • Good treatment at work.

Don’t use complex words.

    Kinda like ACA/Obamacare.

    I’m of the opinion Americans want help and want to help others, but get lost in political rhetoric and a culture war designed to ensure no one gets anything.

      Our old babysitter lost her insurance and was suffering. Ex-wife suggested the ACA, showed her how to apply.

      “Thank you so much! At least it isn’t that damned Obamacare!”

      These people exist, millions of them. And most Americans can’t fucking read and understand a novel.

        As an old friend of mine once had a habit of saying in a sing song voice:

        Read a book, read a book, read a motherfucking book!

      Nah. A lot of people are stupid and selfish. You should look into the new evangelical mantra that “empathy is a sin”.
