[Me] Try, "we're picking up our marbles and leaving town, we got a better tax deal down the road" -- business's favorite game for 60 years.

[You] So you do not oppose repealling all federal business income and payroll taxes, creating a tax haven in the US. That is afterall one of the effects of the FairTax act, is to end .....

Nonresponsive, and spam.

[You, spamming] "A recent survey was done, in Europe and Japan, of the major corporations ....." [More SPAM snipped.]

[Me] But you still haven't answered the question. And "go get your own data" is not an answer.

[You] So repeal NAFTA.

That certainly is not sufficient as businesses were head out long before NAFT [sic] came along. Creating a business tax climate that encourages manufacturing..... [More nonresponsive spam snipped.]

[Me] Until some hungry-mouth country offsets the advantage by doing something else.

[You, turning my point into a fallacious "bandwagon" ad populum appeal to motive] Yep they could follow the US in creating a national retail sales tax too. From the looks of it, Russia may be headed that way for the advantages that a retail sales tax system ..... [followed by more nonresponsive SPAM, snipped.]

You have a really bad habit of using every "reply" as an opportunity to spam more stuff onto the thread that is nonresponsive, not to the point, and basically cut-and-paste billboard stuff you got off a propaganda website somewhere.

I consider your performance on this thread to be 75% pollution and 25% derivative argument from other people's websites.

In your replies to me so far, I haven't detected much in the way of original thought, responsive genuine conversation, or original discourse or POV. All I see in your post to this point is the mouthings of Squealer the Little Pig, from Orwell's Animal Farm. I get the strongest impression, when reading your posts, that I'm not dealing with the head office here -- that you are more like an order-taker at McDonald's than the franchise owner, much less the guy who turns out the menu.

If that seems harsh, so be it. But you didn't show much mercy to the boards yourself, when you decided to back up your dump-truck load of spam.

NO just supporting data from many sources, too bad you have none isn't it.

I haven't detected much in the way of original thought, responsive genuine conversation, or original discourse or POV.

So why do you continue? You apparently know all the answers, obviously you need nothing from my input nor my support for whatever your agenda is.

Whoever told you were?

It is up to you to form your own opinions not to me or some head office to tell you what to think. I provide infomation, you draw your personal conclusions. That's the way it works.

If that seems harsh, so be it.

Not at all, just off the point and silly.

But you didn't show much mercy to the boards yourself, when you decided to back up your dump-truck load of spam.

You tack on to the end of a 1000+ reply thread on taxreform and look to change the discussion and expect to be taken seriously? Information on taxes and tax reform has been provided as an extension of the established thread topic, its up to you from there.

You obviously have your own fixed opinion of how the economy and the world works and do not appear intersted in reforming the tax system. That's fine, but the thread topic happens to be tax reform, not NAFTA, CAFTA and every other ill in the nation.

My interest is in reforming the tax system and the advantages to be gained thereby.

Your interest appears to be elsewhere. I suggest you post a thread and discussion of whatever it is you figure ought to be done rather than hijack a overly verbose thread already on tax reform to your interests.

International trade agreements and their effects are not my focus, tax reform is. If you want to talk about the best ways to go about reforming the tax system I'm here. You want to talk about all the other ills of government I've got my plate full as it is and not really interest in picking up a second banner nor putting down the one I have chosen to carry.

In any case I am leaving to take care of more immediate and for me more important concerns. So good day to you. If you want to discuss NAFTA CAFTA and other malicious trade agreements I suggest you post a thread where that can be focused on and attract those who's interest in such is greater than mine.
