People in power have the ability to construct reality because they can frame the issue. Those who accept a frame of the issue create reality in conformity with that frame.

The Republicans show their efficiency at framing the issue when they changed the frame from estate taxes to death tax. As soon as a person accepts that frame all of the concepts relating to estate tax are replaced with death and a tax on death.

We comprehend a statement as being true in a given situation when our comprehension of the statement fits our comprehension of the situation closely enough for our purposes.
