Call it what it is: tax money

I’d like to propose a law.

From this day forward, politicians, newspapers, newscasters and commentators may not use the terms government grants, federal money, state money or spending limits. They must always refer to any money spent by any government body as taxpayer money.

For instance, a researcher gets money from the treasury to study the sex life of a gnat. The newscaster must say, “Joe the researcher got $100,000 of taxpayer money which he wasted studying gnats,” or “Professor Brain Power got taxpayer money to waste this summer writing a paper on the worst nonsense since the Al Gore paper on the use of taxpayer money pushing global cooling in the ‘70s, only to waste more money changing it to global cooling, only to change it again to climate change.”

Get the picture?

Government has no money until they take it from the taxpayer, and they can only grant other people’s money, taxpayers’ money, to those who didn’t earn it.
