So, I noticed you've progressed to completely ignoring the call to actually point out how much your "cascaded costs" are in ANY example. So, far, we have ONLY the amount of ACTUAL TAX PAID, and not one red cent of "cascaded cost."

But then you've know that all along, haven't you. Perhaps that why, after SIX year of asking, you've NEVER, EVER been able to even hazard a GUESS at how much those "embedded cascading business tax costs" might be. Not a clue; not wild a$$ guess; not a single authoritative source ...

... nothing but pigdog's magic glasses that let you see things that aren't actually there.

I guess without your delusions, you'd have nothing at all.

And that would still be a lot more than you, Dimp-Dimp.

My example illustrates exactly what I claimed and whether you like it or not the mechanism is as stated. I've always told you the numbers were not the meaningful thing in the example but you've never been willing to accept that always instead pretending that I have somehow errer or lied or misled because I wouldn't play your "numbers" game. I've done none of that Dimp-Dimp. What's your excuse??

You seem to think the world is made of nothing but numbers and by claiming others have to use "your numbers" as you do or else be wrong, a liar, or both is preposterous nonsense.
