As Cato the Elder once ended each Senate oration with “Carthage much be destroyed,” to him the overriding purpose of the Roman republic, so we must imagine Matt ending every post with “people who were cooler than me in college must be destroyed.”

In the same way that I would do a terrible job of analyzing the design of a sports car, because I do not know anything about car design or manufacture, he is no good at analyzing the performing arts.

I’m thinking national VAT, uncapping FICA, national residential property tax, national wealth tax, maybe 50 bps each on the latter two and 5-10% on the first. That should be good for a couple trillion year to tide us over until the boomers all die.
