The distinction between profits and income is not relevent.

Ha hah.

What the fuck. Seriously, this is the way you argue? The difference between profits and income isn’t relevant?

If a company makes seven billion dollars in income, but zero profits, they have zero tax liability.

How is that not relevant?

How does it misrepresent the data? Please explain. I have also referenced the Congressional Budget Offic and a Harvard economist. Did you read either of them?

Again, you didn’t reference the CBO. You referenced something from one person at the CBO, that has the disclaimer that the information should not be referenced as though it is from the CBO. Why are you continuing to misrepresent that paper?

Can you explain why the other source you cited misrepresents the source that it cites— as I showed above?


And the profitability of a worker is clearly affcted by the tax rates. The higher what they produce is taxed, the lower the marginal product of each worker will be.

Did you skip my actual example of employees operating under different tax scenarios above? It shows why this statement is flatly untrue.
