Okay, I admit it, I've been googling words and phrases in an effort to get referred to my own blog. As a result I've learned that Mark Thoma, an economist at the University of Oregon who blogs at Economist's View, came across the same bit of economic wingnuttery that I lampooned here.
Thoma's take on the contribution of the Powerline philosophers to tax burdens in the US? "I can't believe this is put forth as serious analysis."
Depend upon it, Sir. You can't make fun of these guys, because they've already said the things you'd say they said in order to make them ridiculous.
