So what it seems to be saying is the ADL overstated hours by 500% and then Payne extrapulated those numbers higher to get his. To me if someone thinks your numbers are 5 times too high, they are refuting it. But fairtaxers know different, I guess.And then he took those hours and multiplied them by the average wage of "IRS employees and that of employees at Arthur Andersen, Inc.," or $28.31. And those are 1985 dollars!!
Similarly his manipulations in the (non) derivation of the "94% tax" rate???
