Nice obfuscation.
ReplyDeleteThose who don't actually read the survey will have no idea that the survey included the option of saying "Not a moral issue".

"In a recent Pew survey, a very small percentage of respondents felt that not paying taxes on all of their income was morally acceptable. The difference between liberal views and conservative views on this subject was statistically insignificant - less than 3 percentage points."
But you wouldn't want to report it that way would you?
Once again, I congratulate you on your clever twisting of the facts to your agenda. Well done.
How about another survey:
