Yeah, as the piece points out, conservative groups have been doing
this for years.  One thing that I've pointed out before is how
pollster Frank Lutz was hired by the Republicans to find a new term
for the "estate tax" which nobody cared about because it was
accurately called the "estate tax".

Mr. Lutz found out that by calling it the "death tax" all of a sudden
everyone cared.

Mr. Reagan called this an "80 percenter" - find an issue 80% of people
agree on then force it out at the same time through all channels.  The
other side will have to disagree and that'll immediately make them
look stupid and you'll win.

"estate tax" is a 20 percenter and "death tax" is an 80 percenter. 
You need think tanks to come up with this stuff.  How do you think
they stay rich?
