I'll Take That Post Down in 2 Comments

In only its second day in exhistence, the Tosser of the Day award went to Bob Ingle. He got the coveted Tosser by claiming that due to the "cost of government in NJ... and Property Taxes" NJ's Tax Freedom Day came later than other states. I brought up the facts about how much more money New Jerseyans make in comparison to the rest of the country and how much that had an effect on that.

I left the same argument in a comment on Bob's blog, adding that it was a fundamentally dishonest post because it didn't take the Federal Tax brackets into consideration.

He walloped back by saying blah blah property taxes. Then I walloped back saying that in his post he said:

What about New Jersey government is worth the extra days all your income goes to the state treasury in Trenton?

So in my follow up comment, I said, if the reason Tax Freedom Day comes later for New Jerseyans, why ask about the value of "all our income going to Trenton", since Property Taxes don't go to Trenton.

The result?

Bob took down the entire post.

I guess he finally saw how intellectually flawed his argument was. I am impressed, usually whinny ass hats like Bob Ingle require much more in the way of argument to persuade them.

The post de-publishing, however, is no surprise. Typical right wing lunacy, remove evidence of wrongdoing, rather than admit error.

In fairness, I would have contacted Bob asking for the real reason he took down the post, but the intrepid blogger that he is doesn't post his email address on his blog.
