It is a good thing, I'm glad they do! Why make it look like the Republican rich give more than the Democrat rich if that MAY not be the case?

All I'm doing is questioning the data points used to arrive at the conclusion of this study. It's typically what I do with ANY study or poll I see here in the Lounge! We see a LOT of "poll numbers" and various "studies" here in the Lounge. To often the data is flawed. Numbers alone are meaningless unless you know HOW the data was collected and understand the conclusion.

It is fairly easy to come up with "numbers" to support your cause on just about point. Recently I cited a WHO (World Health) study and it was immediatly trashed as bad data. Well in fact, that particular WHO study had at least TWO OTHER studies that reached the same conclusion using different data points! Before I cited the WHO study I studied the study to determine if it was at least reasonably accurate.
