High Tax Rates Won ’t Work in Today’s Economy
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezis making headlines calling for raising the top individual income tax rate to 70 percent to fund a Green New Deal. Sympathetic commentators are saying that such a high rate on the wealthy is no big deal because the top tax rate used to be 70 percent and above. Noah Smith atBloombergsays the congresswomen ’s plan would be “a return to the 20th century norm.”The problem is that globalization has dramatically changed the economy over recent decades. High tax rates were not a good idea back then, but they would be disastrous now.Before the 1980s, capital controls under fixed currency exchange...

Washington State voters, for example,soundly rejected a carbon tax on the ballot in 2018.
