It's your argument, buddy. Don't you have any faith in your numbers?

Isn't your entire support based on the 22% estimate of embedded taxes? What if it is WRONG? Would you rather find that out AFTER you passed the bill?

By answering the question, which was, "Why should I?" -- that is, why should I waste my time on you? -- you acknowledge that it's a waste of time to deal with you. 

Don't you have any faith in your numbers?

Faith is for wimps. :)  I trust Dale Jorgenson's research. THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF FUNDAMENTAL TAX REFORM

Since I'm in a charitable mood I'll tell you that not every product has exactly 22% of embedded tax -- twenty-two percent is a rough average. Some items it's 40% or more, other items it's 10% or less.

No. You're wrong. It's the argument of dozens of experts in taxation in economics and taxation.... PhDs, LLMs.

It's your argument that is unsupported. Nice try.
