  My take

  David Cameron should instead be reassuring consumers that GM foods are perfectly healthy and that food these days is the safest and cheapest ever. Although perhaps not for long.

  Stereotypes

  David, countering the prejudices and stereotypes of some libertarians by openly displaying your prejudices and stereotypes about libertarians is quite emotional and irrational. But I respect your behavior because you aren't physically hurting anyone or anyone's property. For the same reason I respect Whole Foods. (On the other hand, I do not respect the fact that politicians forcibly take people's money to build wind farms, subsidize oil use or invade other countries.)

  What about the costs?

  What about all the goods and services the US will cease to produce because of the diminished oil input to the economy? Maybe you personally don't give a damn about them, but you have to display those losses along with the good-looking numbers. With the gas tax less money would go to oil producing countries, but also less money would come into the US because the US would sell less stuff to other countries. And more money would go to other countries to buy things those countries would produce more cheaply than the US because they would haver cheaper gas.

  If you want to reduce gas consumption above all other considerations, then the gas tax is a good idea. But keep in mind that this will not result in collateral economic miracles. Quite the opposite.On Taxation without privation posted 4 years ago 2 Responses
