Go to this genius post by Kevin Fischer. See that? Numbers and stuff showing how GW's done such a great job for the middle class tax-wise as compared to Clinton.
Cut, paste - - it's "journalism"!
Now go to what Kevin Fischer calls "my source." He didn't travel there, by the way, or he would have seen this clear disclaimer on that very site:
Recently an incorrect comparison of income taxes under Presidents Clinton and Bush has been making the rounds of the internet, showing up in forwarded e-mails and on numerous blogs and message boards. (See examples here, here, here, and here.)
Yes - they are referring to the VERY SAME incorrect comparison that eager-beaver Kevin Fischer blithely pasted into his blog (perhaps taken - uncredited - from here, here, here, or here?). The disclaimer was posted way back on February 19th.
What an embarrassing way to reveal a blatant, unchecked-out, unattributed cut-and-paste job from another blog (or, worse, a forwarded e-mail of dubious origin).
Kevin Fischer can't be bothered to check the primary site that he calls .... "my source"?
He can't give proper attribution to the blog or site that he actually took it from?
So, with that slipshod behavior revealed, is there any question as to whether Kevin Fischer bothered to check the math that the extremely dubious "Tax Foundation" uses, even in its corrected figures?
Not when you have a cut-and-paste ideology uninformed by actual insight or research.
Fischer recently wrote (with a straight face?): "Conservatives take responsibility for their actions."
Well, once they're busted they do. And then only after they've exhausted every legal (and sometimes illegal) maneuver available.
It gets worse. Stay tuned ...
