“Let’s look at some truly remarkable examples of how taxes influence things that – at first glance – seem completely impervious to fiscal policy. Would anyone think, for instance, that taxes could impact the day people are born? This study isn’t an outlier. Other research has reached similar conclusions. Indeed, in some case the impact of taxation is found to be much larger. Let’s close by recycling some research that shows how taxes even influence when people die. When Australia repealed the death tax back in the 1970s, researchers found that people lived longer in order to protect family assets.”
