It's a simple word: "reform."
Reform ordinarily just means "change," usually implying change for the "better." But maybe not!
Wise people should be wary these days about what politicians really mean when they use the normally benign word "reform."
Consider a couple of current examples:
One involves taxes.
Some in Congress who are calling for "tax reform" really do not mean to ease our tax burden. What they intend is to tax us more!
Another example involves medical care.
When some in Congress -- and the president -- talk about "health care reform," they really intend to impose a new, unfunded, national debt-increasing, socialized, trillion-dollar-plus, government-controlled system upon our personal relationships with our doctors, hospitals, prescriptions -- and pocketbooks.
Many are using the word "reform" today just to try to lull us into the willing acceptance of more taxes, more government control of our medical care, and more national debt.
Before we accept either "tax reform" or "medical care reform," let's be very careful.
The "reform" they propose would cost us more and control us more, and not necessarily assure desirable results.
