I seriously doubt the unanimous approval from the far the far left to the far right.
- notahacker 10y agoit was unanimous approval of a panel of just five people... Needless to say, you'll find other economists all across the political spectrum that think it's a jaw-droppingly awful policy prescription, rivalled only by the idea of replacing all income taxes with a consumption tax, which was also favoured by the five economists on the panel.
- grinnbearit 10y agoA progressive consumption tax is less distortive (favours productivity over consumption) than a progressive income tax, its just harder to implement.
