I find it bizarre that so many people wonder about why people feel poorer – and nobody, even among the Tories, dares to say that perhaps taxing them a bit less would be a way – which is entirely within the power of governments, without entailing bold plans for driving the market this or that way–to make people less poor. This would seem a rather obvious policy choice, for “conservatives.” But apparently it is not.
