20080520 Wall Street Journal: Hauser’s Law You can’t soak the rich by David Ranson
Wall Street Journal: Hauser’s Law You can’t soak the rich by David Ranson
Hat Tip: R2
By DAVID RANSON May 20, 2008; Page A23
Kurt Hauser is a San Francisco investment economist who, 15 years ago, published fresh and eye-opening data about the federal tax system. His findings imply that there are draconian constraints on the ability of tax-rate increases to generate fresh revenues. I think his discovery deserves to be called Hauser's Law, because it is as central to the economics of taxation as Boyle's Law is to the physics of gases. Yet economists and policy makers are barely aware of it.
Like science, economics advances as verifiable patterns are recognized and codified. But economics is in a far earlier stage of evolution than physics. Unfortunately, it is often poisoned by political wishful thinking, just as medieval science was poisoned by religious doctrine. Taxation is an important example.
The interactions among the myriad participants in a tax system are as impossible to unravel as are those of the molecules in a gas, and the effects of tax policies are speculative and highly contentious. Will increasing tax rates on the rich increase revenues, as Barack Obama hopes, or hold back the economy, as John McCain fears? Or both?
Mr. Hauser uncovered the means to answer these questions definitively. On this page in 1993, he stated that "No matter what the tax rates have been, in postwar
The chart nearby, updating the evidence to 2007, confirms Hauser's Law. The federal tax "yield" (revenues divided by GDP) has remained close to 19.5%, even as the top tax bracket was brought down from 91% to the present 35%. This is what scientists call an "independence theorem," and it cuts the Gordian Knot of tax policy debate.
The data show that the tax yield has been independent of marginal tax rates over this period, but tax revenue is directly proportional to GDP. So if we want to increase tax revenue, we need to increase GDP.
What happens if we instead raise tax rates? Economists of all persuasions accept that a tax rate hike will reduce GDP, in which case Hauser's Law says it will also lower tax revenue. That's a highly inconvenient truth for redistributive tax policy, and it flies in the face of deeply felt beliefs about social justice. It would surely be unpopular today with those presidential candidates who plan to raise tax rates on the rich – if they knew about it.

20071101 Guest essay: Helping Illegal Aliens by R2
The following is a guest essay by someone who wants their voice heard… The writer will monitor this site for your feedback. Meanwhile, please read, 20071101 A word about Guest Op-Eds (and comments)
Helping Illegal Aliens
November 1, 2007
Having recently retired and being in search of a new purpose in life the thought of helping others has a certain calling. Realizing that all people may require help at some point I decided to concentrate on helping murderers, rapists, bank robbers, illegal aliens and terrorists.
For the murderers, I could provide gun cleaning help, target practice facilities and ammunition. They could also use help with identification documents that would help them escape police detection. I could assist them with new drivers licenses and help them blend into the community where they could make use of taxpayer-supported services. Since they have already broken the law, I would try and assist them in getting amnesty or a presidential pardon if they were ever caught.
And for the rapists, I could provide knife sharpening help and practice in tying knots and rope. They could also use help with getting drivers licenses that would help them escape police detection and readily blend into the community and make use of taxpayer supported-services. Since they have already broken the law, I would try and assist them in getting amnesty or a presidential pardon if they were ever caught.
Bank robbers could make use of the above help with guns and knives as well as money laundering assistance. Their new drivers licenses could help them to board airplanes to take them to states that provide the best taxpayer-supported services. And if they were ever caught, I would try and assist them in getting amnesty or a presidential pardon.
The illegal aliens could use all of the above help as well, drivers licenses for identification, assistance in getting to the states with the best taxpayer-supported services and since they have already broken the law, I would try and assist them in getting amnesty or a presidential pardon if they were ever caught.
Terrorists are people too; they could make good use of the above help, drivers licenses for boarding airplanes and sharp knives. Blending into the community, using taxpayer-supported services and since they have already broken the law, I would try and assist them in getting amnesty or a presidential pardon if they are ever caught.
Of course, after I have assisted all these criminals I will be guilty of aiding and abetting criminals myself. Then I will have broken the law too. I wonder if I would get amnesty or a presidential pardon? I could always get a new drivers license and fly to a new state with lots of taxpayer-supported services. I bet I could get supporting funds from Al-Quaida for helping out their terrorists. When was the last time anyone was hung for treason in the

The experience of the politics over the war has caused many of them to lose faith in much of our country's national leaders because they play parlor-politics with the deadly opera of life and death in a combat zone.
And their experience with the news media has caused many veterans to not only distrust, but to disdain the traditional mainstream media.
This stands in contrast with the last overseas armed conflict which fermented social and political upheaval on the home front, the Vietnam War. The government got a black eye, but the media came out smelling like a rose.
