An attempt to see which taxes Manifold users think are most effective for a government to implement
This market will be resolved by poll after close
@josh i don't know the exact wording yet but something like which taxes do you support and think are effective / positive for a government to implement
@strutheo Please do consider posting an exact wording before these markets close. I think it would have a significant impact on the poll results. Manifolders are pretty good at distinguishing personal like/dislike from efficacy.
@strutheo Depends on which question you want to ask. I would write either:
> Consider (the item being polled). Are you in favor of this as one component of a government's tax policy? Please consider this in isolation as an incremental component of tax policy and vote yes/no accordingly. Don't take any other items being polled into account.
Or:
> Consider (the item being polled). Do you believe this is an effective component of a government's tax policy? Please consider efficacy only, rather than preferences. Please consider this in isolation as an incremental component of tax policy and vote yes/no accordingly. Don't take any other items being polled into account.
@josh thank you, i'd do the first option in this case, because it isnt just about sheer efficacy, but also about if they approve of the tradeoffs for that result
@strutheo thanks, I saw it change from "taxes & credits" to just "taxes" right after I added it and thought "ooops"
