Funk Babblings

Does it say, "Rob Funk, Kerry is going to raise your taxes!" or does it say something like, "Kerry is planning to raise taxes for voters in your area!" or the simpler, "Kerry is going to raise taxes!" Both of those last sentences are true (or are proabably true).

You might be surprised, but I'd mark $250,000/year as "upper-middle class". At least, that's the highest I could go. But that's about what it takes to buy a house in an upper-middle class neighborhood in Chicago's suburbs (my parents are fortunate to have purchased before it got that expensive to purchase a house there, because they don't make nearly that much money). The middle class there ranges at least from $50,000 to $150,000, but nearly 9% of the people still make over $200,000.

By that argument, it could be argued that Kerry's looking to raise taxes for the middle class. If you think about what people who generally vote Republican make, and where they see themselves, they might be calling "middle class" higher than I am, though how you could go over a quarter million dollars is beyond me.

*shrugs*

As for the gas tax, are they saying "supports" or "supported", because tense is very important there. Besides, they can pull a quote from 10 years ago out their asses and not date it, and they'll get an impressive return. It's like saying "After the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, John Kerry voted to slash the intelligence budget." Masterful propaganda, in my opinion, because honestly, who remembers the first attack? People, if they even notice the word "first" are probably going to get some weird idea that they mean that he voted that way in the 17 minutes between planes hitting the towers.

*grins* Kill your TV. It's the basis of all our lies.

You should fire my sigil.
