Panel of economists agree: Only libertarian ideas can save the economy
“We assembled five prominent economists from across the political spectrum. We gave them a simple task: Identify major economic policies they could all stand behind,” National Public Radio reports:
“They did. They gave us five tax proposals — plus one change to the criminal code — that every one of them could support wholeheartedly, from left to right.”
What were they?
1. Eliminate the mortgage tax deduction
2. End tax deductions for health-care
3. Eliminate the corporate income tax
4. Eliminate all income and payroll taxes
5. Drop the income tax, tax consumption
6. Legalize marijuana
