Humphreys. You are going to have to actually UNDERSTAND what your critics are saying. Its impossible to respond intelligently if you don’t even understand your critics. Your tax goes directly against the adaptations we need to make.

oh… and as I said, I don’t mind you being rude, so long as you actually make a point. But you don’t.

You guys are obsessed.

1. a carbon tax will be bad for the economy

2. the petrol tax is bad for the economy

3. income tax is bad for the economy

Now I have a simple question for you — which is the worst? If you had to pick two, which two would you pick?

Personally, I think the whole concept of an income tax is quite stupid and I would like to move away from a system of taxing productive work.

If you replace a petrol tax with a carbon tax, then the carbon tax will have economic costs. But the costs previously created by the petrol tax will no longer exist.

[…] Mangled Thoughts wrote an interesting post today on The CIS fully supports destructive carbon taxes.Here’s a quick excerpt … limate change’ and to the massive fraud of carbon taxes….He and the Centre for Independent Studies are promoting a tax that would override the market’s allocation of resources….Humphreys also argues that the tax would be “revenue neutral”.

Hi Douglas.

Excellent work! Am not sure that I agree on the whole power policy, but I trust your judgement.

We must meet again and drink much beer again soon.

In the meantime, recently raised some governance concerns about the IPA at my blog at the following link:
