None of that changes the fact that people can see this coming and will mitigate their tax obligation at the state level in preparation of greater taxes on the federal level.

I didn't question whether that memo had the right figures. I mentioned that it was outdated, non-technical, and that it was dishonest to pick the high value. I also questioned your 20%... err... 15% estimates, which you still have not provided any support for, and, according to even your own numbers and your own math are wrong. In other words, even nitpicking sources and values, and using your own "methodology," you are still full of crap.
Is the $175 correct? Maybe, maybe not. But it is certainly a much better projection than pulling numbers out of one's ass.
