If you want to debate economic theory, you have to make a point and then back them up with facts not links to opinions. We are talking numbers here...it shouldnt be too difficult.

Partisan links are unnecessary. Wouldnt you agree?

I dont believe that every supposedly partisan site has totally useless information or opinion. Facts are hard to come by without seemingly partisan sites nowdays. I would post from the WSJ but i know it would send you into a tizzy. Is the Sporting News considered liberal or conservative? Espn is certainly liberal. Maybe you could give me an approved list ?

Stats are available all over the net. Seeing that you extensive knowledge on internet searches, you should be able to find all that you need.

Why is that difficult?

geeker asked a simple question (seemingly) nine pages ago, and hasn't got an answer yet.
seems it's far easier to proclaim what the problems are, rather than the solutions offered.

You said "no one answered geeker's question" which i told you was incorrect because i did in fact answer it. Now, if i didnt answer how you wanted me to, thats just too bad.

You are such a Republican(just accept it.) This masquerading is embarassing to watch. "I love guns, hunting, and big business. However, I am not a Republican. I'm Independent." Why are you so against just accepting you are a Republican? It's amazing the lengths people will go to try to make themselves stick out from the crowd. Everything I have ever seen you write about economics has been in support of having just 2 classes of people.

And your reply right there shows how disingenuous this whole topic was and that is why I really felt it didnt deserve an answer. Thanks for showing your hand.
