You want the poor to have more money? Well, doh! Splash the cash

"Though I'd feel happier if el reg also had an equally accomplished economics writer with leftish leanings as a balance."

"Accomplished" is very nice of you, thank you.

However, one slight problem from my point of view. Yes, I know, I make little jokettes about being a capitalist plutocratic running dog and all that, but I actually consider myself (as do most of my colleagues at the Adam Smith Institute consider both me and themselves) as being a lefty, a leftist.

My arguments always start with "What's going to make the poor richer?" and in my book that makes me a lefty. That the answer seems to be markets, trade, non-excessive taxation and so on is only a means to that end.
