wealth of statistics? shouldn't be hard to name a source then. which studies are you referring to?
but the point is that you can't. yes, you can google and find a study. but if you were honest you would just admit that it's not like you've studied any of the primary sources on the subject. you're just regurgitating what you heard from a pundit (who in turn is regurgitating from the professionals who write his talking points) which is the same thing you do on the political threads and, frankly, i'm getting sick of it.
eta: i do not mean to imply that you are the only one who does this or even that you are the biggest offender.
