There is a basic inconsistency here for Kohn. She is correct that higher taxes on a relatively small percentage of the middle class via reduction of tax deductions would involve the government taking more money from those affected. But she then suggests that wealthy Americans paying less taxes somehow amounts to reallocation of resources from those middle class Americans to those in the top tax brackets. So, in other words, taxation is theft when it is applied to those who aren’t in the top quintile of income earners, but for those rich folks, taxation is an expected tribute to be paid to the government.

Here’s the question: at what income cutoff does taxation become good? She doesn’t say. But this is pure, illogical class warfare.

When told this on Twitter, Kohn responded that she didn’t appreciate “mansplaining.”

Sally, it’s called economics-splaining, and we wouldn’t have to do it if you would logic-understand.

I'm sure ToJAM will be along at some point today to tell us how dumb we are and quote out some Krugman

Ah yes..Teh Krugman. He and Barry are the poster children for why the Nobel prizes have become quite meaningless; a joke even.
