Wringing Out Fresh Ideas
Rene Descartes was one of the great thinkers of The Age of Reason.
In 1637 he wrote:
“I think therefore I am”
which is the fundamental observable truth upon which all other truths are built.
But The Age of Reason ended in the early 1800’s. We live in different times. 200 years later we need to find our own truths. And I am here to help so I offer:
I feel therefore I am.
I feel strongly therefore I am right! OP 2021
Welcome to my website.
As a graduate student in Public Finance I was taught the most efficient tax, the best tax, is a head tax – a tax that falls equally on every person so it cannot be avoided by changing behavior. This is considered politically unfeasible so a theory of the ‘second best’ tax was created. A second-best tax has a low rate over a broad base. Keeping the rate low decreases the incentive to change behavior. Keeping the base broad reduces the opportunity to
avoid the tax.
Our current tax code does not even qualify as the 832nd best.
The only way to fix the tax code is to replace the current tax base and lower the rates.
We need Bold Tax Reform!

IS DATA FACT?
A local radio personality says anecdotes are evidence of…anecdotes and he’s not wrong. But hear enough anecdotes and a reasonable person can discern a pattern. A pattern suggests a hypothesis and a hypothesis can be tested if we have data. So what does the data say about…
