That is like if FOX and Brietbart (which tried to autocorrect on my phone to brief barf, lol) awarded a fact checker that came from a politically leaning group. 2. What you just posted is based off "estimates". On a site with the word "fact" in it. Lol 3. Even your posted estimates all have them above average. 4. My phone is being a little B on linking, but if you use Bing and search 'unemployment spending by country" it should be the second result. The numbers are from 2009, so relatively old, but I was fairly confident that 7 years of Obama didn't reduce that number. Probably raised it if anything. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To keep myself on topic in this thread: ____________________________________________________________

Eh, I stopped using Google as much as possible when I started to notice my search results being censored and sites not showing up in the results. Google made it impossible to search for some drivers I needed for old hardware when I did a reformat awhile back. Bing when I am just generally searching around (and I found their news feed is (relatively) unbiased. DuckDuckGo when I know what I am looking for, since they won't sell my data to advertisers. - - - - - - - - - - ____________________________________________________________

Leonard, before checking party cards, you need to go to the data sources, like the Congressional research service and the World Bank. Don't start from the premise the answer to data questions is always filtered through party agenda's first.

The FACT is there is a range of how much companies pay in taxes. Estimated because there are many variables. Nonetheless the FACT that the US has the highest tax rate is offset by the FACT that most companies pay much less than that. How much less varies...but still less. That is a FACT.

Well, Leonard, there is an interesting relation between facts and estimates. We need estimates to make and evaluate policy. Without estimates, we cannot accomplish much. We can't loan money, develop real estate, or continue virtually any domestic or foreign policy. Insurance companies cannot set rates and the military cannot decide force levels. We make estimates based upon facts, and then we evaluate them based upon facts. So it's not facts on one side and estimates on the other. It's how we evaluate facts AND estimates.

Not to derail the joke thread any more than it is, but the US corporate rate isn't that far off from other big nations when you look at what corporations actually pay. Targeted tax breaks, loopholes and other benefits put real tax collections in the US down there with most large economies. Before the debate of a cheaper rate, we need a more above board way of collecting taxes. |
