Statistics Lines: 14 TC Wheeler bashes another straw man! As he correctly points out, some wealthy people are liberal. He even refrains from telling us that some poor people are conservative. Yet he calls it the BIG LIE (capitals are his) to make the empirically correct statement that wealthy people, as a group, are more conservative than poor people, as a group (check any poll which gives results broken down into income strata). He does this by twisting such statements into the obviously false one that all wealthy people are conservative, etc. A damn fine propaganda technique, if I ever saw one.
