you DO like to take little snippets out of context to try mnaking them seem like something they are not (the gross product thing)-----
Sorry, looey, but your "23% of the gross product" IS an out of context snippet as people reading the bill will discover.
Paying attention has never been your strong point...Who (besides you) said anything about "gross product"?...
Not only is that "out of context" it's a flat out lie. You even put your lie in quotes...or did you just "misspeak"...TWICE?. It's so transparent that you have to be dishonest, it is all you've got.
`(b) Rate-`(1) FOR 2007- In the calendar year 2007, the rate of tax is 23 percent of the gross payments for the taxable property or service.
This would be the part where you say "gross payment" doesn't mean "gross payment"....
Naw, looey, I don't "misspeak" but I do sometimes make errors and you've pointed those out for me. Thank you. I should just have copied and pasted the snippet like you do. Note to self - pick out snippets like looey does.
I'm sure you'd be surprised (but, hopefully, not delighted) to learn that I also sometimes make spelling and grammatical errors so be sure to check for those also. In fact, would you like a job as a spell-checker?? Mine's on the fritz. Oh, oh, I forgot your "little problem" with the language from long ago. Never mind - I'll just stumble through it.
Would you like me to re-post #219 so's you can understand it? Whether I do or not, people should read the bill and decide for themselves just what it means. If you kept a tally on that. I think you'd find most would soon ignore your snippets for what they are since the bill clearly says one of its principles is to tax a hing once and only once. It is up to the states to do their own taxing but no doubt most of them would choole to conform to the bill meaning that they wouldn't double tax either.
