That's the short explanation, but I had time to write more last night:

I would have been happier with a number. I gave you a number, and that number is 73%. (Some say as high as 85%)

Now you say that number is wrong. Fine. What is the correct number? I've gotten BroJoeK to admit the South produced about 50% of the exports, and I think on another occasion I got him to raise it to 60%, so at least he has given me some numbers that we can argue over.

I think as a starting point, taxation should be the same for everyone. If the North's population is four times that of the South, the North should be paying 80% of the taxes, and the South should be paying 20%.

Are you arguing that the South was in fact paying only 20% of the taxes?

Give me a number.

What is the correct number?

First, do you even know what you are talking about?

Imports or exports? Do you understand the difference?

I am not a statistician, but one doesn't have to be to understand that you are wrong.

Do me the courtesy of reading and trying to understand what I wrote and don't ask for numbers that only an expert could give you.
