The nice thing about championing one of Ramesh Ponnuru's ideas in your book is that Ramesh himself is available to defend it from its critics.

See also Reihan and Manzi on the same subject.

a tax reform that permanently reduces tax rates on capital gains, dividends, and estates,

Excellent point, Mike. Drawing on our experience from watching powerball winners, we should take the money from the ruling class and give it to people of your choosing, and everything will work out wonderfully.

Or, we could incentivize rational behavior and stop pretending that the fortunate are a piggy bank for those who aren't as fortunate, and that Mike's Benevolent State should decide how to divy up the wealth.
