David Cay Johnston responds

In a comment on yesterday's post titled "Living on $7 a day," David Cay Johnston claims the figures he used in his original NYT piece published in November 2006 are correct. All anybody needs to do to see that is go to the IRS and Tax Foundation tables, he says. But Johnston's figures don't appear in the tables and he fails to say which specific table he's referring to and where on that table we can find the figures he used.

This should be easy. Johnston has only to be specific if he wants to be believed. So far he has not been.
