To someone who wants to deceive, a picture is worth far more than a thousand words. Graphs and maps can be shaded, stretched, artified to give any kind of impression at all. Take a look at this graph, courtesy of Ontario's neoconservative government. The idea is to show that their tax cuts, rather than destroying the public education system and health system, have 'created jobs'. The fine print, of course.
Tax rate indicates tax rate for calendar year.
But notice that it's 'job creation'. I didn't see the word 'net' anywhere. It's also 'cumulative job creation', so that the bars keep getting bigger and bigger each year, no matter how little job creation there might actually be. Okay, forget that. The bar on the right side, the axis, is measured in 100s of thousands of jobs created.
