Doublespeak As Melissa Murphy makes clear in her article, the government is particularly adept at employing doublespeak; doublespeak has lately become one of the most powerful propaganda tools. For example, several years ago the issue of estate taxes crept into the news. Estate taxes are basically the government taxing a person's estate upon their death.
