Yes, it’s Richard Murphy again.
He seriously believes that raising average tax rates on the top decile from 34% to 55% will have no effect on behaviour. That marginal tax rates of 75% will not lead to either income or substitution effects.
I’ve been trying to get him to substantiate such claims but get just a combination of “all economists are wrong and I’m right” and “prove it”.
Neither of which are really great bases for such a radical change in public policy really.
