  1. That's not exactly what Cato says. Highest on new investments is the claim and if I were you I would check out Cato's figures more closely. This wouldn't be the first time they have twisted figures to suit their political agenda. The time has passed when dishonesty will win the day.

    Oh, and in any case the article goes on in the first paragraph to say the opposite of what you stated Sean.
