I don't think this debate is worth continuing, if you think "bend over backwards to show independence" means "stupid and malicious." Fwiw, my guesstimate is that consumers would get most — 70 or 80 %? — of a gas tax cut right now, bc there seems to be spare capacity 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but Rick Scott's "Rescue America" plan doesn't just call for tax hikes on the majority of Americans, but for a big implicit cut for tax cheats; "We will immediately cut the IRS funding and workforce by 50%." https://t.co/GYjQ9XPvMn — PolitiTweet.org

But the gas tax is probably a bad example for me to have chosen. I'm much more concerned with the haste to dismiss the idea that opportunistic exploitation of monopoly power is playing any role in inflation 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
