I refuse to believe ordinary people talk on "code." When i hear people in the news say this or that is "code" for something else, i simply roll my eyes and shake my head. Frankly, in our society, most people don't have the knowledge to talk in code. And people are so frank these days, speaking in code us unnecessary.
But one group does speak in code, because they have to walk warily ans they have the time to plan out what is said. These people are Hollywood script writers.
This episode is about people who want tax reform. Which in Hollywood scriptwriter-ese is code for "dangerous right-wing kooks." True, in and around 1776 people who thought their taxes were too high formed a new country . . . And thank God they did. But scratch a Hollywood scriptwriter and you find someone who wants a Soviet style government here.
To Hollywood types there are no left-wing killers, terror groups or . . . Anything dangerous. But advocate tax reform and you're human sludge.
I watched this episode through but was not impressed by it. To bad. When this show is fair-minded it's one of the best shows ever.
