"You still have not offered any defense (not that one is possible) for your premise."

I offered neither premise, nor conclusion, nor have I advertised products, or solicited lucre. Thus, there is nothing to defend. Next blog post!

"the objective has been to define the golden mean, with respect to income taxes. "

Inherent premise: That the can be a "golden mean with respect to income taxes."

If you offer no conclusions, then what's the point of your writing? Prosaic meandering perhaps?

As for advertising, that's obvious. You are advertising your blog and you have made 34 attempts in one post to draw traffic from FreeRepublic without even the simple courtesy of a single linkback in that long list of recommended blogs and sources at your site.

That is discourteous at best.

Haughty pseudo-intellectualism will not save the day.

Newsflash: Conseratives are the most sarcastic folks on God’s green and cooling earth. This is one of our favorite things to mock.
