Big Government Cripples Incentives to Save, Promotes Risky Culture of Immediate Gratification
Daniel J. Mitchell
America’s political elite is nauseating for many reasons, but perhaps most of all when they blame others for problems that are caused by misguided government policies. A stark example is the way they attacked the Facebook billionaire who moved to Singapore because of punitive taxation and class-warfare policy.
Today, let’s look at an example that affects almost everybody rather than just a handful of rich people. Many people in Washington sanctimoniously say that American households and businesses are too focused on the short term and that we don’t save enough.
But as I explain in this CBNC interview, tax and spending policies from Washington have undermined the incentive to save.
