    There was a study. By economists, at major universities. I've given you the number of tax returns evaluated, the years, and the results.

    If you doubt any of that......go find your own evidence.
    Well if you want to make an argument based on such-and-such data, and you can't actually provide such-and-such data, then you may as well be citing Fox News. Can you at least tell us where you heard these solid facts you reported?

    You obviously don't mean they called you up and told you this.

    Where did you hear it? Because if the answer is "Fox News" i'm going to be less than impressed.

    Exactly. Which is why you can rightly go fuck yourself.

    Ok, so again, I'm not playing that game with you. the study happened, you can look it up. I read about it when it was cited in articles that happen to appear on Fox. I don't see how that negates the validity of the data. But you apparently do, so again, go fuck yourself.

    It doesn't negate the validity of the data (assuming it exists), it negates the validity of the information. We don't know how accurately Fox reported these 'facts' or if the study even happened at all. Moreover, assuming the study does exist, the information has now gone through two filters (Fox News and you), neither of which is reliable, and thus it's impossible to tell how much distortion has gone on between the original data, what Fox said about the data, and your recollection of what you heard Fox say.

    So give us a link to the actual study or we'll just have to assume you're pulling numbers out of your ass.
