The American Spectator

this is nonsense. look at all those assumptions you have to make. where has he said that he would have $280,000 in net profits? i was also under the impression that he was a SINGLE father of ONE dependent (for whom he cooks dinner every night). the dumbest part of this is that they are "assuming" joe would be taxed from dollar one. very arbitrary, since he would be only taxed for the portion that exceeds the bracket cutoff.

it's really fun to make up all the assumptions you need to get the answer you want, isn't it? but it's not exactly honest analysis. please don't lie to your readers.

Wow, what a stunningly polite, rhetorically brilliant, showstopper of a blog comment.

Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to lie to my readers anymore. Gum-dang it, this game is so hard!

shawn, i apologize. i did not mean to hurt your feelings.

but you must admit that my points are valid. in the future, when i comment, i will strive to be more polite.
