So, I guess you WERE just yanking our chain.
If you think I am yanking your chain, then so be it. Seems mighty thin-skinned to me though. Your references to the Berlin Wall and the moon and the American Revolution are off-target. Reagan tax cuts were, by comparison, very easy to explain and easy to repeal if there had been a disasterous mistake.
I looked at your link to table 2. it is good information, do you know where the personal expenditures line came from? Are we sure that "business expenses" are not in that line, only personal expenditures? Travel costs, marketing/printing costs, etc.
If you don't want to discuss this with me any more because I am not serious enough for your tastes, then fine.
