It's a pity that they cheat with the slide on tax rates - I'd have
hoped that even fairly mathematically challenged types would spot that
22 > 9, not less. It's a pity because it's the sort of thing that
tends to destroy the credibility of the whole, and it's an important
message.

Is that the slide showing a decline in millionaires' effective tax rates against a rise in unemployment? Correlation doesn't establish causation and an odd way to present the statistics?
