“If New Mexico’s gross receipts tax were to be raised by .50 percent…”

If a 4 cent gross receipts tax were raised by .50 percent, (one half of one percent) the increase would be .0002 increase. That is to say, the 4 cent tax would jump to a 4.02 cent tax.

What SWOP's professional activist is probably trying to say is that one recommendation would increase gross receipts taxes by .05 cents — – a half-cent per dollar, which is a 12.5 percent increase over a 4 cent gross receipts tax.

What does this show us? That a PhD and a fistful of money from George Soros and the Ford Foundation can't make a professional journalist out a professional activist. What it says to the public is that “citizen journalism” has been hijacked to serve as a frontal assault on accurate use of English language in a campaign for partisan interests.
