Collections Undermine Tax Hike Narrative

The progressive case for raising taxes is premised upon two arguments – 1) income shares are increasingly concentrated at the top and 2) the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) reduced taxes for the wealthy and corporations at the expense of everybody else.

This paper lands on top of a growing pile of analyses (see here, here, here, and here) showing that the work of French economists Piketty and Saez is deeply flawed and should not be …

Inflation and the BBB, Revisited

With the DC tax press continuing to pester Senator Joe Manchin about the BBB’s prospects (response: still dead) we thought we’d revisit yet another reason Congress should leave the BBB behind – inflation.

Inflation has exploded in the past year. As this survey from NFIB shows, the issue went from “also-ran” status to the #1 business concern almost overnight.
