Oh, but my example does illustrate something real - exactly what I claimed ... the mechanism of cascading taxes and how they get embedded into prices.
The numbers you pull out of published data are just that - numbers and illustrate nothing about how price increases due to taxation works. You "draw your conclusions looking at your real numbers" without understanding their significange or how they work and interact to boost prices. You even refuse to look at your Nightie-sidekick's handiwork (which surely needs it) and that's an illustration of how helpful your "numbers" are ... not at all.
You merely look at "your numbers" (and of course they're not yours at all but taxpayer-funded and so are equally as much mine) and then guess what you think they might mean - with no real basis for doing so - while I prefer to see the mechanism by which taxes build and cascade and become embedded into prices.
I'll leave the numbers determination to some real economists rather that some jack-leg amateur that is narcissisticaly overwhelmed with his own ego and self-importance and demands to tell everyone else what the should think. BS.
Ever find an authoritative source to corroborate your discovery? ANYONE?
No doubt, with such an important discovery, the AFT would be breaking down your door to publish you and finally "seal the deal" on price behavior in the economy. Why, you'd be hailed as the great economic savior!
Don't ya ever think that if you were really on to something here, that someone, SOMEONE, after SIX years of unveiling your discovery and analysis here of Free Republic, that SOMEONE in the world of economics, taxes, taxreform, accounting, business, heck even the world if Excel, might have taken notice? SOMEONE?
Don't ya think that after all this time, you (or SOMEONE) would have been able to find at least ONE reference to "the mechanism" in a published, authoritative source? JUST ONE???
