I'm increasingly disappointed in what has become of Tyler Cowen. I guess this is always what he was and I was just blind in the past. Oh well.
Discussion of US tax policy is so frustrating. I just wasted 20 minutes trying and failing to even find what Biden's proposal actually is. What are the exact rate brackets? Does this restore the distinction between long term and short term gains or apply to everything? Does this remove the loophole for carried interest? Not a peep. Every single article is just exactly the same choose your talking points that can be predicted to a tee from the pre-existing political lean of the parent publisher. Not a single attempt to actually inform voters.
Media is trash.

- nonameiguess 6y agoThank you. Let me add my angry indictment of search engines that a search for "Biden tax plan" doesn't surface any links to the actual plan but rather just commentary on it. Sadly, the plan itself doesn't even answer these questions and only mentions capital gains once, saying past reductions are one of many factors responsible for labor share of federal tax revenue increasing relative to corporate share. That just raises the next question of what are pundits even opining about if there isn't actually a plan at all?
