Mark Twain once said “Half a truth is the most cowardly of lies." As you review the voter’s guide keep in mind the arguments against the initiatives contain many half truths, cleverly written and focus group-tested to persuade you to vote against your self-interest. Let’s take a look at each initiative so you’re not deceived by half-truths.
I’m so glad you wrote on this… the ballots are even deceiving. An example points towards “loss of education dollars” on my ballot for one of the initiatives. Really? I didn’t know it could be counted as a loss if you never had it in the first place? It is my wealth generated from my labor - why is the government entitled to any more of my money?? Just because 55% vote for something doesn’t make it right to the other 45%. This is why I hate democracy - at least I hate the way the democrats practice democracy!
Thanks Ryan! My husband was furious about biased language in the voters guide when he saw it. The Democrats are experts at the art of lying with half-truths!
