You still keep pissin' into the wind!

I stated that we have some of the highest corporate rates in the world! FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I posted the rates, ranging from a low of 15% to 35%! FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You argued that the "tax rate" posted was not correct! Oh yes it WAS and IS!!!!!! FACT

Twist the point given anyway you like! You have just confirmed my answers to your BS ramblings!

Nothing I posted above is incorrect, in fact it is all FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I simply stated that we have one of the highest corporate rates in the world! Which the prez confirmed in his comment in the column I provided on Dec 25. Can't get much more current that this!

End of story!

Could you answer the one question you were asked? Of course not! Just throw shit and hope something sticks!

A bald-faced lie. To quote the bullshit I first called you on in this thread way back when:

Our highest marginal corporate tax rate is relatively high, but that's only the starting point of our corporate tax system. Once America's generous system of deductions, subsidies, and avoidance schemes are applied, our overall corporate tax system is quite low relative to our competitors, in fact currently at a 40+ year low. You just hate being called on your bullshit.

No, I did not. I don't think you're lying about this though. I just don't think you understand that the marginal rate is just one feature of our tax structure. I have theories on why you seem not to know basic things like that, but I'll keep those to myself.

No, you did not. Here again is what you posted:

I know you'll never get this. I just want you to know you're kind of alone on that.

Yes, I could answer the question. I choose not to, because what I have or have not done in my life is irrelevant to America's corporate tax structure. You just want to personalize this, because you're argument skills apparently remain on the schoolyard.

I hope your inevitable, stubborn response to this (your poor caps lock and exclamation point keys!) comes with a more creative variety of thoughts about my body's orifices. I suppose you've been trying, but your efforts thus far haven't been very clever. Maybe something about my nostrils maybe?

first time since I can remember I was in he Doctor's office today and never read Time magazine. Well I guess the choice was the correct one I read the health magazine instead had more content of what I wanted to know. Use to enjoy paging through Time magazine but just had no interest in the latest issue.

Classic! Someone questioning the validity of a study who always uses some bit of information whether it be a stat, study, chart or whatever to try and prove some grossly biased argument in their favor. I'm not sure if the ol' obscure British study of '84 proving smokers are more stupid than non-smokers cann ever be beat, but it sure is amusing to keep seeing 'em . That one was truly a classic.
