Bush's Fuzzy Math
Remember, everything he says is a lie
:
"President Bush stumbled Feb. 19, saying the average tax cut is $1,089. The White House corrected that figure to $1,586. But the fact is that most Americans won't see anywhere near either of those amounts.... The 'average' is misleading because it is inflated by very large cuts given to a relative few at the top.... A more meaningful number is the median -- or mid-point. The Tax Policy Center calculates the median cut received for income earned in 2003 is $470."
That's a hell of a difference. Less than half of what he said. The guy is a pathological distorter.
