Need help responding to idiot RW parrots?

Lots of interesting stats here. Good stuff for those looking to counter RW astroturf email garbage!
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2004/05/stats.h...

Stuff like:

The cost of the Bush tax cuts this year alone is enough to give $9,793 to each of the 2.9 million people who've lost their jobs since he took office.

Revenue loss from the Bush tax cuts over the next decade equals Social Security's baby-boomer reserve.

In 2001, 476 more Americans died of malnutrition than from terrorism.

Paperless voting machines were named the worst technology of 2003 by Fortune magazine.


There's a couple beauts about WalMart. Nice chart on what bush tax cuts mean for different income groups. Nifty graph showing age brackets for various questions about gay marriage, showing the RW position supporters are dying off.

Page lists sources for info too. It is SOOO cool. Check it out
