So far you have posted no math to support your dispute.

BDS · 03-22-2009, 07:37 PM

Neither have you.
Besides, since when have any government numbers added up?

Follow the links simpleton.

You didn't answer my question.
Also, maths means squat, quite frankly.

The mode income of United States citizens is $19,980/year.

So tell me...what percentage of income would you like to hit with your "fair" tax that would still provide $2.6 trillion per year?

If you have another reliable source for data let us all in on it. All numbers are controlled by some body or organization. So the answer to your question is sure they add up. For those adding them. It doesn't mean you have to believe them. Let me get you a tin foil hat to go with your buddy.

...Bearing in mind that every working American's share would be $17,333.

TGRR · 03-22-2009, 07:48 PM

So most working Americans get to try to live on $2,500/yr, so Merc's heroes can crap on solid gold toilets.

I guess you never took statistics in college. Mode is a poor indicator when you have such extremes. Like your buddy said, who is going to believe your numbers?

Sir_Simpletoon · 03-22-2009, 07:49 PM

You want to give me a tin foil hat? I'm not the one posting "lol obama" obsessively.

There's a difference between adding up, and making sense, also.

The BLS, for one, because that's where I got the numbers.

Mode is the ONLY important number, when you consider a flat or "fair" tax, because that's where most of your money will come from.

Have you EVER taken a basic math class? Ever? This is simple division we're talking about here.

But Boortz tells you everything is fine, so it's fine. Right?

Probably approximately the same number that'll believe yours.

You obviously never checked any of the numbers for yourself.

Just keep on believing, hippie.
