[citation needed], as they say.
How do you know that this would create jobs? How would you actually go about imposing a wealth tax? Do you believe you could make such a scheme revenue-neutral? (Or, if you don't want to, have you considered the effect on public-sector jobs and on people who are currently benefited by what the public sector does?) Is anything remotely like this politically feasible? Do you have any actual economic analysis behind this, or is it just idle sloganeering?
- known 16y agoYou failed to suggest any alternative to current economic crisis?
- gjm11 16y agoTrue, though it would be more accurate to replace "failed" with "didn't see any need". Why would that invalidate my criticisms? (A patient is feeling sick. Someone comes by and says "Recite a prayer over him, and paint his face green; that'll make him feel better". Do I need to have an alternative treatment in mind in order to say "You've given no reason to think that that will work. And if prayer is going to do any good, surely it matters just what sort of prayer to what deity." ?)
