Your response seriously oversimplifies the issue.

You mean whether or not a tax works is beside the point?

OK, for those who are a little slow, or not reading the whole post, or ignoring half of an argument, here's what I wrote:

Whether or not a particular state is "in the black", is a function of many more variables than what type of taxation is used.

Now, are you going to respond to the whole argument?
