Specific "wording" allows manipulation of people and political parties

Whether it's propaganda, advertising or comments from the new, specialized Republican party, almost ANYTHING can be achieved by using appropriate verbiage to achieve a politcal end. Control of the masses.

Whether the word is "surgical strike" or "freedom", buzz words are used by the coroprate elte to achieve their goals. Democrats represent the working middle class and what's left..........the group that needs to be further controlled by paying more taxes and having less facilities to rely on.
While they're being squeezed, corporations in this capitalist society are being strengthened with what sociologists call "ELITE DEVIANCE".

This is a group who has risen to the top politically and financially by abandoning the moral high ground for profit.

>" Elite deviance, restricted to the activities of persons and organisations of the highest social status, involves the systematic exploitation of the powerless by economic domination, denial of human rights and crimes of governmental control. It causes vast amounts of injury, has incalculable monetary costs, and undermines public trust in political and economic institutions.

Political deviance, defined as the use of illegal and unethical means to gain, retain or enlarge political power is demonstrated in case after case of bribery, extortion and kickbacks.

Monopolies, price fixing and price gouging are all examples of corporate deviance, which is seen as emerging from the single minded pursuit of profit and economic power. These practices redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich, as consumers must pay higher prices".

This has happened in front of our eyes within the past few decades. We are no longer a "democracy", although the deviants will have you believe it. You are being manipulated by liars and cheats and they further divide us with buzz words of their own. BOTH parties and the corporations are guilty of this "elite deviance" as profits soar, the competition is wiped out and the CEO's are further protected by new "laws", written and executed by the deviant and successful law makers.
