Tin, percentages tend to mask reality.
If I buy one 20c option it would cost me $20. If I buy 100 it would cost me $2,000.
If that option increases by 400%, I make $60 for one or $6,000 with 100.
Both have the same percentage but the overall amounts are vastly different.
Percentages are used frequently by option snake oil type sales people to distort the truth. I have seen it used this way many times and I think you are using percentages in this way as propaganda knowing the average voter can be easily fooled in this manner.
Definition of propaganda (from a google search)"Information, esp. of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view."
