I agree with that. But there has to be minimal delay between any expense and refund if you are making the up front cost higher for the lower income brackets. Waiting until the end of the year for a rebate won't be good enough.
- eru 4y agoI wasn't suggesting to give people a rebate for bread. Just the opposite. Bread should cost whatever it fetches on the market (and that will include pigovian taxes, if any). The amount and frequency of welfare transfers to poor people should be independent of how much bread they buy and when. To give a concrete example: you get your welfare check at the start of the month, and the government doesn't whether you buy bread with it or noodles, and shouldn't give you a refund either way.
