I was afraid you were going to do that, and tried to warn you against it. You can't lump all receipts together like that, because they go down in a recession, and up in a boom.

I mean, you can, and you did, but it's meaningless. Gross receipts are a percentage of gross income, which fluctuates.

That's why I said "subtract out the recession effect," which was shorthand for the fact that it's impossible for any one human being to figure out, you need squads of economists or accountants using assumptions and computers.

So you need to pick a think tank.
