Every idea, every new law, every action has some unintended consequences or impacts. And those impact are in places or on people that you wouldn't expect.

Welcome to the new home to sharing that information.

Welcome to ... The Unintended Consequences Files.
 
Re: The Unintended Consequences Files

Government increases tax rates to raise revenue.

Impact: people change their behavior.

Result: projected revenue gains are not realized.

Let's all take this as a moment to recall the difference between "unintended" and "unexpected".

Right. You'd think by now that people would EXPECT that when they raise tax rates, revenue would decline, all else being equal, since it has already happened so often!

Just like it is not unexpected that some people never learn. They try something, it doesn't work; so they try the same thing again, and it doesn't work, and so they try the same thing again, and it doesn't work....and then they complain that there is something wrong with the world, because it isn't working right!!

When this commission reports its findings, make sure there is a blue curtain hanging from the table and pitchers of ice water on top of it. Both are essential items to this cause.
