Losing that grip of social control is something supporters of Big Government would fear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620822221586726516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204289.post-88630131157623289052007-10-01T22:05:00.000-05:002007-10-01T22:05:00.000-05:00APT is indeed the answer.

I disagree with your thought that big gov't wouldn't like APT. Actually they could raise significant additional revenue by extremely small rate increases that no one would protest. Every 0.01% raises nearly $100 billion. In fact my libertarian lining friends object to APT because they think people would lose interest in the gov't and taxes. My only responnse is, just give us a chance. Actually the economic growth stimulated by such a tax would create large excesses in revenue without a rate hike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
