re: Does pleasure for some people offset pain for others?

Certainly in tax policy.


Not at all in tax policy. Sure the net tax brought in is the same, but some win and some lose, and the fact that the winner benefits doesn't help out the loser. People aren't an aggregate, they are individuals.

And there are 1000's of manipulations of tax policy.

All the greater reason not to manipulate even more.
