john5746 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Here's a question: anyone know of a study that tracks how a dollar spent by a consumer stimulates the economy, vs a dollar spent by the government? Here is one, not very analytical http://www.ncpa.org/studies/s178/s178.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDarwin Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I still wonder what a consumption tax would do to economy. I don't suppose that's ever going to happen, though. Perhaps it shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoiA Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I still wonder what a consumption tax would do to economy. I don't suppose that's ever going to happen, though. Perhaps it shouldn't. I used to be a little excited about the fair tax proposal, but they managed to muck it up with "prebates" and the like. I guess it would be better than the IRS, but it misses the point administratively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
