Are people stupid or just not thinking?
It is election time and politicians will say anything to you in order to get you to vote for them.
For an example, A candidate said The high cost of electricity is out of control and that he’s going to put a stop to that. Think? The electric rates set by the state energy regulatory commission not by a local politician. The utility company submit a request for a price change and it’s up to the commission to grant it or not.
Another politician said he will do away with Income tax on tips and overtime money. So think ? If there’s less money coming into the federal government, where are they going to get the replacement money?
When voting on a school bond or any bond proposal. Think ? When the bond matures, where are they going to get the money to pay off? You the taxpayer.
Other things to think about.
When a store says “Spend $25 and receive a certificate for five dollars off on your next purchase of $25 or more.” What they are really saying is you need to spend $50 before you get five dollars off?
