Liberal Wants to Substitute 'Dues' for 'Taxes'

The New York Times has an op-ed piece from statist Richard Conniff:
It’s time to take a page from the conservative playbook, the one where they reframe the debate by changing the language — for instance, calling the “estate tax” a “death tax,” or making equal rights for same-sex partners a “protection of marriage” issue. I propose we stop saying “taxes” and start calling them “dues.”
Country club "dues" are voluntary payments,unlike taxes.Here is the dishonesty for all to see.
