UPDATED: Good For A Giggle

Push poll

A push poll is an interactive marketing technique, most commonly employed during political campaigning, in which a person or organization attempts to manipulate or alter prospective voters' views under the guise of conducting an opinion poll. In a push poll, large numbers of voters are contacted with little effort made to collect and analyze their response data. Instead, the push poll is a form of telemarketing-based propaganda and rumor-mongering masquerading as an opinion poll. Wikipedia

A friend sent the following survey that he received via email. While it is always good to know what the opposition is doing, it is also good for a giggle, in my view. Anyone who would like to complete the survey and mess up the Conservatives' results can click here.

  1. DeceptiCONS those cons
    Cutting "tax" by 15% is not the same as cutting "tax rate" 15%
    and if a minus 2.25% rate lowers your tax by $2000
    You are paying about $89,000 in tax to start on an over 225K income
    A 2.25% saving on income of 50K is about $335

    "Poilievre said he would drop the lowest personal income tax bracket to 12.75 per cent from 15 per cent, which amounts to a 15 per cent cut."

    So a bit like the QQ Danielle pension scam and the tarrificator .... real poor math those people.
    Fact checking destroys conservative financial planning.

    1. The true believers, I suspect, are not detail-oriented, Anon.
