"Since I agree with and many others agree with me that are economic professors and studiers of tax systems, I guess that makes us all idiots, huh?"

Starting with the structure "Since I agree with and many others agree with me" a clause so tortured it screams. Who agrees with whom in this verbal Mobius strip? All are in agreement. Should it be 'I agree with many who are..." or "Many who are... agree with me?"

'That are' should be 'who are' since these are people we are talking about and not, say, toasters.

Economics professors, not economic, unless you meant thrifty professors, in which case you should have said 'economical', or very large professors, which might have been better said 'economy sized'.

'Studiers' is nice coinage but I like the traditional 'students'.

And then after all the bad grammar, made up words, convoluted syntax, to follow by saying, "I guess that makes us all idiots, huh?"

It's GENIOUS! I don't know what it makes them, as I'm still not sure whom you're referring to, but it kind of points at you being an idiot.


Huh?
