supply siders cannot even bring themselves to talk about allocation of resources because they'd run into the military problem.

For the record, I support bringing troops home from Afghanistan. I had mixed feeling about nation building in Iraq, and I was initially 100% against it. I do not support our troops being placed all over the world. I think our military should only be used when we have clearly defined goals and objectives. I have no problem cutting waste in military budgets.

Tax policy should not be punitive to those who create jobs, our current system is. Changing the focus to taxing consumption as opposed to work, savings and investment will have a positive affect on innovation, economic growth and employment. That is my approach. Let innovators, innovate. Let business owners grow their businesses. Let the efficient rise to the top - and everyone wins.

As to the point about PK and E-Man... did you read the article. What has he written since that conflicts with it and how? You do see it was written in May of 1999, right?

I am sorry that I am not going to take you through a bunch of business 101 citations to show the impact of taxation on small business owners. If you don't think what I describe is real - go out and talk to some business owners or start a business and report back to us in a year or two.
Also, I am not interested in Krugman - he is consistently wrong or misleading in my view. He has a political agenda that is not related to presenting truth. We will have to agree to disagree, on what you think he writes compared to what I think. Even the article cited today shows conflict with his Eman point of view.
