just because ancient geezer doesn't explain it doesn't mean we can discount its validity. i am still reading on some links so i'm unprepared to jump in yet, but i'd like to see an explanaiton of why you take the position that the 33.6% is wrong. again, not explaining it or not defending it is not a valid reason to discount it. he did provide a link to the dry cleaning example - what is wrong with it - other than ancient hasn't explained or defended it?What's wrong with it is that the dry cleaning example is somebody just guessing what the taxes would be on a bunch of line items. There is no research behind it. The simple math I used showed it to be in error.
yes this is my point - what is/ where is the research behing your statement that the other statement is wrong?
i'm not simply accepting anything - i would like to see research to analyze myself - as i'm currently in the process of doing with the papers above on the 22%. i haven't finished - i'm not even 10% thru - but i will get there...
and i still am waiting for someone to tell me how cheap overseas labor will be ended.
LOL! No, but common sense and careful thought can.
