"I drink your milkshake"! LMAO:D

No, nor did I ever claim that I could, but rather simply passed on what I was told by one who had no reason to make something up to the likes of me. He was with his wife and daughter too at the time, a client of mine for whom I had shown and explained the Mithraeums of Rome.

I can, consequently, only take his word for it. Nor, despite this long and tedious attempt of yours to deride both him and myself, do I have reason to doubt his information.

But like I said before, I really couldn't care less.

I need a bath, or at least a shower, so I leave you now and go upstairs.

I've given myself away, I thought: if my wallet is found under the newspaper, that's proof positive of my guilt.

""Scarborough, the former Republican congressman, argued, “Let’s make no mistake about it right now: increasing this debt ceiling? This is George W. Bush and the Republican Party’s debt.

“Five years from now? It’s Barack Obama’s. But right now, this is what happens when you spend the type of money you spend from 2001 to 2009…. This is what we have been led to in 2011. This is George W. Bush’s debt…. You can’t just put this on Barack Obama.”

Now, to a certain extent, Scarborough is only telling part of the story. From his perspective, Bush-era fiscal irresponsibility is the result of reckless spending, and it’s a point with merit. Republicans paid for two wars, health care expansion, and a new education law without even trying to pay for any of it. What Scarborough neglects to mention is that the debt spiraled because of tax cuts, which the GOP also didn’t try to pay for.""

BS. I've showed you on at least two occasions how and why this is a lie.

Talking points and spin. That's all this is.

As to the rest of your post... opinions are like a-holes, and Scarborough has both.

Scarborough's entitled to say whatever he thinks. So what?

BTW, I don't really care what Scarborough's quoted as saying... I have an issue with whomever is doing the editorializing in your post.

He/she has lied (again). End of.

You're embarrassing yourself.

I went to the IRS site. I found the info I was looking for. It contradicts your narrative no matter how insulting you choose to be. You can't handle the truth.

Unless Cato runs the IRS, in which case I will gladly eat my words.

You are a LIAR....what your cherry picked IRS data proves is there was less taxable declared, conveniently..The consistent rate just gives fools like you more reason to submit. You did not dig that up on your own..fess up..There's some cato "fellow" written editorial making your case..I have other things to do other than go find it.. Poodle

""If you think your local Andy Griffith is a greedy pig because he retired in his forties and built an addition to his garage with your tax money, try hanging out with a guy who eats $400 crabs, throws himself $5 million parties where he is serenaded by Rod Stewart and Patti Labelle (who sang "Happy Birthday"), and then compares the president to Hitler when word leaks out that he might have to pay taxes at the same rate as a firefighter or a kindergarten teacher."""

Either 1) You can't read, or 2) It does not matter what you read.

More taxable declared, higher percentage of total income captured with a lower rate. Those are facts.

Are you smart enough to figure out why this happened?

You just see what you want to see.. As I have said before.. If there is little difference then this would not be an issue.. Bush made it easier to vaporize income where it is not reflected. No better examples than Bush and Cheney themselves..Check out their paltry (claimed) incomes

You respond with:

And various other irrelevant gibberish. From your answer I will operate under the assumption that you are not smart enough.

I'll give you a hint though... It has to do with human behavior.

The IRS data collection/assemblers are alcoholics? :rolleyes:

It's actually very very simple. You can't understand what the data shows because of the Krugmanization that has long ago occurred between your ears.

It suggests a low capacity for comprehension.

When Bush was President, Congress voted to raise the debt ceiling 7 times. Three of those times were when Republicans controlled both houses of congress. Why are they being so obstinate (principled in their words) now?
