These sorts of articles are transparently engineered propaganda.
Someone sat around "How can we increase taxes and wealth for ourselves?" "What about a parking tax! $1 each time you park anywhere nationwide, that would be billions each year!" "No one would accept that." "Oh yes they will, I know a guy at the NYT we have worked with before. I will have him write an article. He can spin anything into gold." "Do it."
- philwelch 16y agoDon't attack someone's reputation without basis. Tyler Cowen's an economist with if anything an excessively libertarian bias. If you have evidence he's been paid off by someone hoping a New York Times column arguing for more paid parking and less government-mandated free parking requirements for private business will generate public support for a parking tax scheme that wasn't even mentioned in the column to begin with, present it. (You'll need a lot of evidence, because it's a pretty ridiculous claim.)
