With all the vote counting shenanigans we see going on now, are liberals simply more dishonest people than conservatives? The short answer is, yes.
The General Survey asked participants, "Do you feel it is wrong or not wrong if a taxpayer does not report of all his income in order to pay less income taxes." Let's compare answers for those who describe themselves as "extreme liberals" with those who are "extreme conservatives."
Percent answering tax cheating is wrong
(extreme libs/extreme conservatives, sample size = 2,396)
Seriously wrong 10.9/43.7
Wrong 60.0/43.7
A bit wrong 21.8/5.6
Not wrong 7.3/7.0
Conservatives are much more likely to think cheating on one's taxes is seriously
wrong (43.7% vs 10.9%), while liberals about 4 times more likely to think it's only
a little bit wrong. I'd bet money many liberals feel voter fraud is only a "little bit
wrong," and that it's actually righteous if it strikes a blow against Orange-Headed
Lucifer.
UPDATE: Look at Hollywood, for example. Does anyone disagree that Hollywood
has more per capita liars than any city in the world? Okay, maybe Washington, DC
does, but both places are crawling with liberals.
