When the pro-slavery movement uses words, they do no mean the same thing you would find in any standard dictionary. You may have to prepare yourself to be answered in their ridiculous language, the language of dissimulation. What follows will be an attempt to catalog some of their vocabulary, not so you can memorize it, but so that you'll start to recognize it. If you have to speak to them regarding matters covered by the terms, you can simply ignore their terminology, and use the same English that Americans use.

Terminology

create jobs

Example: "We [some government or agency of the government] have created or saved 100,000 jobs."

Interpretation: "We [some government or agency of the government] have extracted enough taxes from our citizens or borrowed enough money from other people to employ or keep employed in their present jobs 100,000 people"

Explanation: The interpretation is too long, and reveals what governments actually do. The government and its agents are not producers of anything, and it is certain they create nothing. The jobs they refer to are most likely going to be jobs of people the speaker likes as opposed to people he doesn't like.

Analysis: There is never any net gain when the government is involved. Governments always cost money, just like wars do. If you take $100 out of my pocket, and put it in your pocket, then you are simply dictating who will be employed by my $100. I might have hired someone to clean my gutters for $100, but you will hire someone to advise me on rain barrel construction. I don't want a rain barrel. I don't need a rain barrel. I don't want to be educated by you. I will learn about rain barrels when I'm good and ready. My gutters are still full of leaves.

stakeholder

Wikipedia: Stakeholder (corporate), a person, group, organization, or system who affects or can be affected by an organization's actions.
Stakeholder (law), a third party who temporarily holds money or property while its owner is still being determined

Interpretation: Stakeholder (corporate), a group, organization, or system who affects or can be affected by an organization's actions. Individuals  are not recognized or consulted. Stakeholder (law), a third party who temporarily holds money or property while its owner is still being determined. We have laid claim to all of the planet's resources, including you, yourself. We have determined that we are the owners, and are figuring out how we can persuade you of that, while we enact ordinances and laws behind your back that make it so.

Explanation: The term stakeholder is used to demean and dehumanize you, and make you feel like a shluck. Since you are not concerned about the global community, you will not be consulted on what their real intentions are. You will be alerted to their plans at the very last minute (perhaps by mail) as required by law, just before they pass their agenda in legislation.

Analysis: Not very respectful trickery, it is.
