      Unfortunately, while I love the law. This would not class as a lie in court. Just an absurd interpretation of the plan.

      Most families have larger houses than most single people. Those who bath children use more water than those who shower them.

      So yeah, this change in charging could lead to some families paying more to bathe. Of course, it’s a distortion. And could be applied to any tax with enough work.

      Much as they do for any form of charge that effects the more wealthy. They are just looking for the angle that lets them distort its effect in votes minds.

        Fair enough although I would argue that attempt to mislead is quite clear here.

          Yep using grains of truth to misslead is common. In fact I’d say it defines the last 10 years or so of world politics.
