You want a concrete example, just look to your own comment earlier about Dr. Jorgensen. You quote basically a single section in a paper that has no founding or reference as gospel truth,
You are looking for gospel truth from an economist?!? LOL! You're looking in the wrong place.

And the quote was the only part relevant to your post.


and then use it to claim that the work of 7 independent economists and think tanks are therefore bogus.
I've never been able to find any of these papers that make these claims (have you?), so, AFAIK, they are bogus.

Alright... just answer this question without spinning or evading: Other than that one-line throwaway (unfounded and unsourced) comment you posted earlier, do you have anything that says that Dr. Jorgensen does not stand by his earlier work?

Since you seem to only care about published papers, we'll just stick to that. But if you are so concerned about the other economists and think tanks, perhaps you'd care to contact them and ask if AFFT is misreprenting their work? I'm sure they'd put out some form of statement to that effect if indeed these studies are bogus. Or maybe, AFFT doesn't publish these studies because they simply just don't have the rights to do so?

"I've never been able to find any of these papers...."

And I have never been able to find any source which even documents your preferred form of tax reform, much less any economic studies.

Help us out, YN. Post a link to your preferred form of tax reform. And while you are at it, tell us again that you aren't fighting for the status quo.
