    @QuickSilverD I do believe that the government does need revenue and does need to tax. The harder question is how much revenue as a % of GDP and where it is best used.

      Yes, he thinks for it’s not entirely obvious and there are alternatives. Still, taxation is a more certain and practical way to raise government revenue and arguably worth the trade offs in some markets. The more interesting question is truly still of the level and type of taxation + the proportion of government spending as a % of GDP. ‘Fiscal Policy’, they gave it a name precisely because it’s so darn important.

    I would love to see how tariff taxation is calculated. I feel like this method should consider the nation we are responsible for. Say money taxed is value saved by another form of tax times the number of people within the nation they exchange with "pay".
    People are looking at economic efficiency, without considering the lost wages from being out of competitive balance. Lost wages we must make up for in another form of taxation.

      @inanahsans6636 7 років тому +2

      less burgers are now being produced because they won't get the minimum price they want. the surplus from those units are going away. producers also need to pay tax. they cant keep it so the surplus is below the orange line.

    This operates on the assumption of zero competition- making prices rise at a one to one ratio.

    What you're missing is that this is just a model. Sure there's economies of scale but you're not taking into account marginal benefits. As you get closer to full capacity and over your workers might get in each other way. Eventually it would be better to increase capacity by getting new land and more workers, but they might have a better marginal benefit else where in society.

  • @a2m4m60
    @a2m4m60 12 років тому

    Taxation is good. Its the governments job to protect the transactions of all demanders and suppliers and it needs revenue from somewhere so yes it is ok for the government to tax. haha but then the question of how much "protection" needs to be placed to protect the transactions and protection comes in the form of stable currency, laws, "pro growth tax", ease in starting a business,few barriers to business, respect for property rights... not price setting as some people assume.

      Demand curve only shift is increase the amount of buyers, increase the consuption power, change the preference of buyers. In this case the tax only shift the supply curve.

    So people start eating healthier food, get healthier and live longer and we realise that the consumer's assessment of their own "surplus" (by which i think you mean their love of hamburgers) was partly unreasonable and the government had health advice which was more reasonable. We also don't see here the consumer benefit of eating that other healthier untaxed food, so the diagram is isolated from the full picture. If we saw that full picture, we would not need to lament this fictional "deadweight". Of course, if this economy is in the USA, people have probably just started eating cheap and nasty pizza anyway, so i get that.

    • @kockorzo
      @kockorzo 11 місяців тому

      Well, it is still rational expectation if
      a) The utility derived from the consumption of the first hamburger is 200 UTILS
      b) The disutility derived from that first hamburger’s opportunity cost -100 UTILS
      c) The disutility from thinking about a diminutive and invisible indirect impact to health from consumption- -10 UTILS
      You can’t decide what’s better for someone.

  • @karfar8029
    @karfar8029 2 роки тому

    Yeah, so, as for federal taxation, federal taxes are not a funding mechanism for the federal government. Every time the federal government spends, it creates new dollars to fund that spending. That is how dollars are created and injected into the private sector. Federal taxes are how dollars are extracted from the private sector and destroyed. Federal taxes are not recycled. In fact, if you pay your taxes in cash, they literally shred it. In the olden days, back when all taxes were paid in cash, they burned it. This belief that taxes are recycled is a neoliberal bluff akin to believing that banks are financial intermediaries that take deposits and then lend those out. This is a strange faith in what was learned from George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. The financial intermediary theory of banking, like the fractional reserve theory of banking are complete bunk. There is no empirical evidence to support either of these theories. The only theory of banking that is empirically proven is the credit creation theory of banking. Imagine for a moment that the federal government asks you to pay a tax in dollars before it, the sole creator of the dollar, has spent it into existence. Is it possible? No. The federal government has to create that dollar before it can tax that dollar. And no, the federal government never borrows dollars to fund spending. Securities are a monetary tool used to control the overnight interest rate and a timed payout savings account. It is also not a funding mechanism. As for state taxes, yes, the state absolutely needs revenue before it can spend that revenue as it is not a currency creator. It's like comparing apples to a soccer ball.
