All Krugman says is: For a given pie, if one part is bigger, the remaining parts need to be smaller. Now, your article suggests that by saying this, Krugman maybe thinks that taxes don't influence economic activity, or that liberty is bad, or that we would be better off under communism, either of which would make him an idiot. I hope deep in your heart, you don't think this. If so, you're just dishonest. If you really believe it, then you're ignorant. Which are you, Russ? What are you Russ, ignorant or dishonest?

I hope deep in your heart, you don’t think this. If so, you’re just dishonest. If you really believe it, then you’re ignorant. Which are you, Russ?

It just is lame, sorry. Put the politics aside for one day, and pay tribute to a man who has contributed greatly to economic research. Just because he is not of your (or mine) political side doesn't mean one cannot see that he is a great economist and can acknowledge that.</p> You label your article "Krugman's price", the price is clearly about his academic work, and then you go on and attack him for his political views.

I like your work a lot.

What do you think of my thesis that taking from the rich to give to the poor does not reduce but increases income inequality?

My displeasure is over Krugman's non-academic work as an economist. I thought I tried to make it clear I wasn't judging his academic work.

Welcome to the Cafe. If you hang around long enough, you will find that unlike Professor Krugman, we are not interested in advancing a partisan agenda, particularly that of the Bush administration.
