What is the meaning of "heep scorn"? I also like to know an etymology of heep.


Where you'll see this trick: When politicians talk about tax increases and tax cuts. They'll lavish praise on "the biggest tax cut in history," ignorning population growth and inflation, and heep scorn on "the biggest tax increase in history," again ignorning population growth and inflation.

Hello Hiromichi -

'heep' should be 'heap'...looks like a'typo'

to 'heap' --> throw one on top of another into a 'pile'.

Philo Kevetch:
Thank you. From now on I should be imaginative enough to find out typos in reading English.
