Ed, this has to end our conversation.. it seems that others on the ng
have you identified as a crank and now it is apparent to me... my
final remark on the
48% number is that it cannot possibly be accurate, no stats are, its
just one of the more common approximations...and there is much
published on that you can surely find and read for yourself

Yes, I can read it, Phil, and I have, for several decades now. And I've
written about it, and I have over 350 published articles and chapters of
three books, mostly on machining and the business of manufacturing,
including world trade, taxation, and related subjects.

What I know is that your number is baloney. That's not unusual here,
especially when, as I notice now, this message is cross-posted. You can't
provide a source for your number because it's a crock. We could have
discussed it and you would see *why* it's baloney, but you apparently
would rather believe your fantasies than find out what the truth of it is.

goodby'

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Phil.
