I presented that data with its point. You're asking me to focus on one part of the data to "help [me] understand the nature of [your] effort." Go ahead and and explain your own effort.

Like I said earlier, the data isn't very clear, and the presentation convulated. Since you have studied the links you presented, I assume you have looked at the data in greater detail than I can in limited time. If you have an argument, with that analysis (more than mere statements, I must add), please present it so we can discuss corporate taxes with logic, concrete fact-based arguments that doesn't ignore the fundamental premise of how such numbers are to be compared.

Okay, you don't have anything to add. I'm not going to try to break it down to entice you into a discussion. If you don't have time to look at it, then don't worry about it, move to another topic.

Now that is a breakdown for an argument. Did you even bother to analyze what you read? Or, did you just read the key words and chose to share here? Sure sounds like it now. Don't worry, I won't ask for it again, here.

If you want to discuss it, then take a look at it, form an opinion, and offer it. Why would you trust my analysis instead of looking for yourself?

I want to discuss it, and if you do, present what I asked for. If you don't have it, say so.

ok.

No. It's totally hidden from 99.9% of all consumers.

Nobody knows how much tax is included in their $4.99 hamburger or their $200 set of tires. It hidden.

You obviously haven't read about the flat tax. There are provisions for necessities.
