My Republican State Rep's crappy survey of loaded questions

[spedtr90]

I just completed a survey for my MN state representative, so he can be informed as to what the voters want. The questions are loaded, and I'm sure a couple are actually lies. I'd like to know if others have seen similar survey questions. I am so fed up with crap like this....

#10 Do you agree with Governor Dayton’s decision to enroll Minnesota in a federal health care program at a cost of more than $1 billion to state taxpayers? ( A LIE! To the best of my knowledge this brings in $1 billion from the fed and costs us under 1 million. Am I wrong?)

#2 If you chose to raise taxes or a combination of both, which taxes should we raise?
Property taxes
Income taxes on everyone
Income taxes on families making $50,000 or more
Sales taxes
(NO ONE EVER PROPOSED INCOME TAXES AT THIS LEVEL! Dayton proposed on top 5% of taxpayers. This implies Dem want to raise middle class tax rates. Property taxes on homes over $1 million was also proposed, not for all, which will happen anyway just like with Pawlenty.)

#11 Which health care option is better: A competitive environment giving you more health care choices, or a government controlled program giving you one choice? ( A LIE! 1 choice?? Does he understand the bill??)

#7 Should Minnesota government pass tax relief to let families and individuals keep more of their money, and to encourage businesses to expand and create more jobs?
Yes
No
No opinion (Republican plan for tax relief is $12 for an income of #30,000. Whoo-hoo! I can buy 3.3 more gallons of gas this year!)

1. Wow, that one's pretty bad

They're usually loaded questions, but the $1 billion lie (yes, you're right that it's a lie), >$50K family tax lie (as you said, no one ever proposed anything at that level, it's top 5%), I wish it was one choice (in single payer!)...and the answer to the last one is "no" tax relief for anyone!
Actually, they need to add another answer for #7: "(d) No & Mark Dayton will send Barack Obama to personally show up at your door to take your guns away too!"

Sheesh.

Is this a 1st timer or an incumbent Repub rep? Just curious if the playbook changes.

8. Those things are classic. The state-level party writes them. I always just write my own answers on

them and send them back.
