Dick Mountjoy (3.00 / 1)

"Dick Mountjoy is a no-nonsense conservative Republican who believes in God, Country and Family in that order. He will fight to protect our nation from the threat of terrorists, the illegal alien invasion and runaway government spending."

I thought we were at peace with the Klingons...

You'd think... (0.00 / 0)

With a name like Dick Mountjoy you'd think he might be some former porn star but alas he's just another overweight middle-aged Republican.

And here I thought when I clicked on the link to his website I might have at least had a cheap thrill.

He won't get votes of little old Democrat ladies who probably also expected at least a cheap thrill, if not an outright fantasy, but I bet he carries Castro in a landslide.

If Gene Kelly can manage a runoff with Barbara Radnofsky, Dick Mountjoy can win in Castro.

Voters in this country apparently are not the brightest light bulbs. Most apparently are actually missing their filament.

I question these numbers (0.00 / 0)

I cannot criticize them outright without reading the study and its methodology, but I have my doubts.  The basis for tax cuts will come from property tax cuts, which are not strictly income based.  For this reason I imagine these numbers are at best estimates based on group averages.  Within each group you can expect a wide degree of variation. 

That said, I would expect income and property taxes paid to correlate better in the higher income brackets.  The numbers in the under-$70K brackets are probably most suspect.  Has anyone seen the study cited?
