Schmitt and his easy math

Schmitt's letter to Newsday is too cute by half. He starts with the premise that Newsday is wrong by pointing out his incredible lies. Then he changes his story. First it was Democrats RAISED taxes and now it's they "voted to" raise taxes. To add to the BS in the letter Schmitt throws out usless numbers:
"Let's do some easy math. If you were paying $1,000 in taxes prior to the first Democrat vote to raise taxes
15.4 percent, you would have been paying $1,154 after their vote. Now, after the second Democrat vote to raise taxes (a 15-percent increase), you would have been paying $1,327.10. And after the third year of
Democrat votes to increase taxes (the 19.4-percent tax increase), your taxes would have gone to $1,584.55.
If you start with a base of $1,000 and after successive increases you arrive at a new total of $1,584, you have undergone a 58-percent increase" BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. If frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their asses.
There was no 58% increase so Schmitt is just blowing smoke.

Here's some fun "easy math." Schmitts gross malfeasense as Deputy Presiding Officer of the legislature led to BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in DEBT to build. Schmitt is responsible for forlosing $70MILLION from the BPA SCAM.
