The Kaufman Economic Outlook asked 80 of the top economics bloggers and asked two sets of questions. What types taxes should be increased and decreased. The survey says that the bloggers suggest we should drop payroll, foreign import, corporate income and individual taxes and raise consumption, gasoline and carbon taxes. The carbon and gasoline suggestions may be based more on social policy but clearly the proposed drops are based on making the tax system work a bit better.
What is more interesting is the pie chart. There is a strong propensity to make federal tax systems flatter. That is quite different from the President's agenda.
