A.A. Raw undistilled facts mean nothing at all. Even members of Congress

Perfectly Legal, by David Cay Johnston.

A.A. Everything you said is a baseless opinion. For example, that 20% of
Americans pay 80% of the taxes. That is pure fantasy. That we import high
paying jobs. That China is a slave labor economy. You're kidding, right?
That we're a "free society" yet you define free by telling us it's always
been that way.
