She said TaxAnalysts were biased and I asked her if she saw any bias in this report.
No, that's not what you asked her.
My exact words were "Any specifics of this report you want to point out as being biased?"

Next time you are caught in a lie, just admit it. It's much better than trying to weasel your way out of it, like you are now. You are just stacking lies up.

"more than" means add, speaking of middle school math.
Uh, not when you are talking percentages. Twenty-five more than 0 would be 25. But that's not what you said (yet another lie). Twenty-five percent more than 0 would be 0. Ask any seventh-grader.

As I have stated in many posts in the past, we need to get the Federal government out of business.

Promoting a national sales tax makes business an arm of the government.

What we need is to get the government totally out of the tax collection business.

The best tax would be a tax on the creation of money.

The Federal government would take only 10% of the money needed to run the economy for one year.

This would make the government business friendly, making government pass business friendly laws in order for the income of the government to rise.

This would in effect limit the growth of government to 10% of the economy.

It would also make the government invisible to most Americans...no more reporting to the government how much you made, or having business report how much it sold.

Making the government collect on the amount of money it creates also would get the Federal Reserve Monkey off our backs.

The Federal government would be the only entity that would be allowed to create money...no more Federal Reserve Debt notes.

This is the only real answer to our economic and trade problems.

Having the retailers collect the tax does not make them an "arm" of the government at all and the businesses would be paid to collect the tax under the FairTax. If they WERE an arm of the government they would not be paid for this service - that's the way it is done presently; business collects taxes and is not paid for doing so. In addition, the government places many unfunded mandates upon businesses at present in doing this uncompensated service.

Also, the government hardly needs to tax the creation of money when they can so easily create it untaxed and have the tax results drop into their laps via the income tax. The income tax method benefits their revenues when money is created and offers them the wonderful political plum of controlling much of the citizens' lifestyles via income tax laws.

Just ask lurkeylou what is 100 minus 22. If he says 88, it's nothing new... sure everyone makes mistakes - but this error is egregious - and further, he went on for 100 posts arguing that 100-22 = 88 - and based his entire argument on it.

Same YN problem (lying and parsing to escape culpability), just a different thread.

By the way, what is 25 more than ZERO?!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Maybee geezer can link that deception of yours - a classic.

I don't go on 100 posts on any one thing.

How is that different from your hero Ancient Geezer going on about how there's an "exclusive tax rate for income"?

Meaning there's an income tax rate that excludes the income it's supposed to tax...He even showed the numbers. The problem was he couldn't figure out how to exclude the income from the tax to make it work...more than once...go figure.

BTW, there's only one way anyone could know I once used different screen names ....I disclosed it.

Uh huh. And this is the same government you expect will scrap all that opportunity in favor of a nst?

And if this same government DOES scrap all of that opportunity in favor of your nst, I should be very worried why.

Heck, prrincy, thass nuthin' - in fact almost accurate for him.

A few years ago looey (or one of his other four screennames ... I forget which) made up a "numbers" problem and "solved" it for us to show how rong we all were.

Problem was that his "solution" made an error of 400%. I'm just thankful he's not in the IRS. Come to think of it, maybe he is ...

When the FairTax law passes (and it will) the government will certainly scrap that "opportunity" since the FairTax will be the law, looey.

I thought you knew that.

Semantics, here, looey ... actually your were caught doing it, accused of it, and finally admitted it.

"Disclosed" sort of implies you came up with the notion out of the blue - you didn't.

It Makes them tax collectors weather they are paid for it or not.
