Oh your expert thing again, so we find 3 experts all saying dissimilar things and we take all of what they say unchallenged, right? So we just let the experts run our lives, that is the Liberal way, I suppose? So where does the $700 figure come from, then? You don't know and you don't care, because some expert told you, right?

I'm just a person who knows and understands percentages. Right off the top of my head I could see that a 3% increase would be a $1500 for a person at the $300,000 ($300K - $250K = $50K * .03 = $1500). level, so I wondered what game he could be playing.
