Scoop: IPA’s and CIS’ Professor Sinclair Davidson’s support for Carbon taxation explained
Professor Sinclair Davidson and the IPA have done enough, have damned themselves as it is. The scoop is off the grapevine, so I can’t vouchsafe it myself but there it is, it’s on the vine and spreading fast all around Australia. I bites and how. First, it is pertinent to recapitulate some of Davidson’s antics.
Davidson tried to help out in 2008 in the attempt to rescue Lindsay over his carbon taxes position, using such brilliant debating methods as smearing Mr. Jackson. It was very curious to observe:
Sinclair isn’t simply attempting to extricate Humphreys, and the CIS from what is now a shocking scandal. The question is: what is his position, in view of his ties [also] to the CIS? The answer is, Sinclair has been mounting arguments for carbon taxes all along.
The position was set out in the paper with joint author the IPA’s editor Mr. Chris Berg, Thumping the Table. The main body was concerned with ‘industry policy’, it invites -music to Kim “Il” Carr’s ears. Besides denying the inverse of the J curve is true, a denial Davidson is yet to defend, and failed to rebut Jackson’s criticism, it is sombre to observe the evidence rolling in demolishes their paper and confirms what Jackson set out from a solid framework of theory.
Tacked on was a statement declaring the Green’s lies are true, ‘the science is in’, and a self-exculpating bit of hand-wringing, ostensibly asking how can the Cabinet achieve carbon taxes without destroying capital. It is rather suggestive of, it’s an advert promoting the Walker-Morgan-des Crespigny ‘nuke Australians into the ground power plant’ scheme. It turns out:
Scoop:
Professor Sinclair does support carbon taxes because, according to the grapevine, he sees carbon taxes as the way to get up a flat tax.
Ladies and gentlemen, I nearly hit the floor, from laughter. How stupid can Davidson and the IPA be? Well, Davidson is right in one sense. Carbon taxes are flat taxes, they flatten capital and that means millions of Australians flattened.
What will it be called? The Professor Sinclair Davidson Flattener. Davidson’s Pyramid - the guarantee of his immortality in Australian history?
There is a need for an honest tax debate in Australia. The tax regime is hideous and has long been strangling enterprise, and is why many have located production in other countries, including China. The IPA, CIS and the Right have never fought against this. Amusingly enough, they multiplied the taxation, it includes regulation, under their Pulitzer Prize winning economist Peter Costello.
Indeed, Chris Berg wrote a dreadful little tome on regulation and how to identify the best ‘model’ of it, complete with vacuous little graphs. Here’s the punchline, Professor Sinclair Davidson’s fellow economic genius couldn’t, and never could, ask the real starting question, Why regulation at all?
The excuse for ‘regulation’ is the myth of perfect competition. Reduced, it is nothing less than an assault on free markets. One of the fortes of the IPA has been devising the ‘best way’ to regulate.
The IPA alone has published piles of papers on the destructive mush. And. have abandoned companies they have never fought for to it. They have abandoned firms, left them to be strangled to death, despite taking donor’s money for this very purpose.
Yet, the IPA has always acted as any PR man does, for self -preservation and enrichment. PR men are at least honest. They won’t fight politicians and bureaucrats because the next day they might be working for the enemy. The IPA eats cake both ways, pretending to fight while recommending how to strangle firms to death.
Now we have this:
Professor Sinclair Davidson, a Pulitzer prize winning economist in his and his pals eyes only trying to immortalise himself by seeking a ‘flat tax’ with carbon taxes as the lever.
Never mind the firms and Australians who will be destroyed by carbon taxers, this genius, typical of the Right, know what is good for all.
Stupid people are conceited, callous and cruel, and hold themselves to be the yardstick of all things and the job of everyone is to obey them. This is the attitude of the Right. Does it show – this lot laid the foundations of Brackistan, and what they did with the STO and OPA is a testament to the callousness and cruelty that stupid types are capable of.
Sinclair wants carbon tax destruction day so he can raise a flat tax. What a bloody joke. This clown is a Professor in economics? He’s not only lousy on manufacturing, money, capital theory, and the Laffer curve. This clown has no compass at all.
Ron Manners and Harold Clough funds with the IPA and CIS a right anti-intellectual freak show filled by spivs who spit on Australians, don’t care a hoot if Australians are utterly ruined so long as they and the Right-wing pals get what they want.
So, Davidson’s interests and those of the Kemp Family IPA Trust Fund and Lindsay and his CIS Super Fund coincided in more ways than a few. No wonder Davidson expended so much energy flying interference and smearing Jackson, and doing his bit to boost carbon taxes and discredit the solid, highly moral fight against this tyranny.
Well done Manners and Clough, funding this pack of spineless, indolent, backstabbing vicious fishwives.
Of course, these are also more nasty reasons why the Right proceeds to destroy the Liberal cause – can’t let principles and truths stand in the way of their ‘ambitions’ and enriching themselves. Bloody mendacious parasites.
I ask of Manners and Clough again:
Look at what your ‘pals’ did in Victoria. You look at what they did with the STO and the OPA, and the victims of this thuggery, many victims put through hell and all because of the arrogance and stupidity of your chums.
When will you, Manners and Clough, cut the bums off:
When some more mining firms and engineering firms are wiped out or all of them finished off? When only more tens of thousands Australians face greater hardships or the vast majority are ruined because of the Right and their clunker tanks.
Well, other donors, as we have observed, have cut off the funds and others are very nervous.
Sinclair Davidson, what a brain. Now I am beginning to fully appreciate why the hard Left enjoy playing around with them. After all, the diseased Left do not wish one bit to see the Right finished off. They want the Right kept centre stage to maintain the lie that they are genuine Liberals and fight causes. Besides, why bury those who are doing good work for the treacherous Left.
Do Manners and Clough find intellectual fraud and worse comforting, and a real solid effort in fighting the free market cause?
Kevin Rudd will, no doubt, hand Professor Sinclair Davidson a suitable gong for the advance of fascism and service to the death cult of the Greens, The Glad Badge of the order of Little Brown Shorts, first class, with a signed pic of Deah Leadah Kevin Bloody Rudd himself, and smiling!

That is aside from, for example, Davidson’s drivel on the Laffer curve.
In one sentence, the point to the curve was to ram home to President Kennedy and the Democrats savings and their accumulation is the imperative, the only way out of recession and the only driver of growth and for this to occur they had to cut the tax burden.
Leftists have lied about the Reagan and Bush tax cuts, asserting they failed to deliver growth. A bloody lie but the Right and their clunker tanks, in typical form, did not come out and crumple the hard Leftists on this. Instead we see the likes of Davidson ‘rediscovering the Laffer curve’.
The Right’s non-defence of Capitalism and free markets
Making Davidson’s tedious efforts all the more dreadful is the rotten, all-consuming policies of the Rudd Cabinet, States’ Cabinets and Local Councils.

Is it true that Davidson quote checked Jackson and found evidence of fabrication?
Oh dear. Why yes it is.
