Point?

There's a lot in those graphs that is very misleading. If I tried to list them all, and explain why they are misleading, this would be the longest post in the history of the board. Bottom line, don't take any of them at face value as meaning what they are offered as meaning.

They also don't consider the burden of state and local taxes, which have continued to rise, and rise, and rise...

I think the above graphs make for excellent backup for the more conservative arguments on taxes.

When properly interpreted, several of them do. My question is whether republicans in particular have anyone smart enough to interpret them correctly and present that message to Americans.

Agree entirely.

Unfortunately, no.
