Answer:
If we don't elect Mrs. Smith to the senate, we will definitely see a rise in taxes.
Explanation:
According to Clinical psychologist Rian McMullin, "Logical fallacies are unsubstantiated assertions that are often delivered with a conviction that makes them sound as though they are proven facts." The statement above uses the rise in taxes which is something that people are scared of. The assertion appears to be factual but it simply a campaign style to promote a candidate.
It is a legend. Legends typically contain a small sliver of truth, but they become misconstrued and distorted over time.
"A legend contains some facts and becomes exaggerated to the point that real people or events take on a 'larger than life' quality. In contrast, a myth isn't based on fact, but is symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact."

"... It was an epoch-defining moment in their distant past. As the historical sources - Herodotus and Eratosthenes - show, it was generally assumed to have been a real event."
