Is Tax Foundation Unfair To Bernie Sanders?

Is Tax Foundation Unfair To Bernie Sanders?

Nonetheless, there is much that the TF cannot capture and it does not even pretend to.  If we were actually able to have a single payer medicare for all system, I think there might be some very positive effects on entrepreneurship and small business formation.  In the current system, concerns about health insurance tend to tie people to jobs.  Companies that provide health care coverage now might find it a lot simpler to just pay 6.4% and also be relieved that they are not picking up the tab for the other half of a couple that works somewhere that does not provide insurance.  Something that I have not seen discussed anywhere is what effect single payer health care might have on workers comp and liability insurance rates.

Kentucky Can Attract Tourists Who Like Bible More Than Bourbon Without Violating First Amendment

 I tend to think that incentives like this one are really bad tax policy.  A really good thing would be for all states to enter into an agreement to refrain from them, since they threaten a race to the bottom.  I don’t think very highly of young earth creationism, although I am less disturbed by it than many.  The upside of YEC is that it actually gets some people to think.  If you doubt that, check out Tony Reed’s How Creationism Taught Me Real Science series.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
