What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

    When people say a politician “raised taxes.” More often than not it’s a tax that does not apply to 99.99% of the population and they raised it from 0.000001% to 0.000002%

    But boy do those campaign ads look good

        Maybe in the US. Most tax cuts that happen in Canada at least don’t tend to have an expiry. Although new governments do tend to reverse previous government’s tax policy. Although it tends to apply to tax policy across the board.
