Mankiw and Taxes

Two more articles, actually an Op-ed from conservative, Harvard economist Gregory Mankiw and a rebuttal from John Shmitt's "No Apparent Motive" blog, showing the difference between a pundit lying to promote a cause and someone actually thinking about the subject at hand.

Mankiw is a rich, powerful, conservative Harvard economist. He knows/understands what he's talking about so I have to assume he's written a deliberately misleading article for political purposes.

NoApparentMotive: Three Card Mankiw

It's funny how in both these cases, Palin (found here) and this Mankiw case, the liar less-than-truthful article is from the corporate, main-stream media and an independent blogger is telling the truth.
