No. Remove your 'friends clothes' to shock them...

A better way to shock them is to remove your own clothes.
Maybe they'll also go blind or desperately cry for mind bleach.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Perhaps a fire-hose enema?

Why! I actually would love a 3% income tax...
(I have an attached zero to it...By any means...)

Be glad it's only one zero...

It's a double zero - one for the rate and one for the benefit...

Wikipedia wrote: Income tax was first implemented in Great Britain by William Pitt the Younger in his budget of December 1798 to pay for weapons and equipment in preparation for the Napoleonic Wars. Pitt's new graduated (progressive) income tax began at a levy of 2 old pence in the pound (1/120) on incomes over £60 (£5,641 as of 2015),[7] and increased up to a maximum of 2 shillings (10%) on incomes of over £200.

Wikipedia: The first known system of taxation was in Ancient Egypt around 3000–2800 BC in the first dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
And according to the Bible it was 20% of the mass production...

Yes - but that's not income tax (probably because they didn't use money yet?). I think that's called a "tithe".
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Tithe, one of my favorite words. Every time I hear or read that word I picture a posh Englishman talking about mammaries and not taxes.

 You have a very odd understanding of the way English nobs speak then (or a decidedly one track mind)!

Work these days is regularily interfering with my responsibilities here on CP.
There you go:
I hear you, Greek! I prophesy a rethorical strategy! (9)
Let's see how fast this one will be cracked! 
Hint 1: What's up? Too challenging for you elephanting sunshines?
Hint 2: Eloquent, playful and seemingly harmless phrasing, yet devastating connotation!
Cheers!

Yes, but it's quite marginal.
I've changed it from "a form of rethoric" to "rethorical strategy",
which if find a much closer match than the first.
