Ted,
I recommend that you take a deep breath and go look up the meaning of
argumentum ad hominem (abusive). Attack the data, not the presenter of the
data. It's a nice distraction but doesn't deal with the fact.
Does ATR have an agenda? Clearly. Does that mean that they cannot present
the information without bias?
Even if you don't like the inclusion of the regulations, we can still agree
upon the amount of federal and state taxation, can't we? And that's been
increasing?
Best,
Dale Courtney
