One of the remarkable aspects of the Fall 2017 tax debate was Republicans' willingness to say with straight faces that "tax cuts pay for themselves." It is true that some Republicans vacillated between saying that their tax cuts would completely pay for themselves (sometimes even claiming that cuts would more than pay for themselves) and saying that the offset would only be partial, but even the latter claim is also almost entirely wishful thinking (although it at least it concedes something to reality). |

It's all a matter of degree. Sixty years ago the highest tax bracket was 91%, which is what I call "theft under color of the law."
Tax rates, even for the evil rich, should be low. Ideally an absolute flat rate would prevail, say, 13% which is paid by everyone, unless they're legitimately poor. But everyone should have skin in the game.

TO REMEMBER |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
