And are we, by building in a negative income tax, in fact subsidizing the illegitimacy that Tom Sowell is so concerned about? FRIEDMAN: The major reason it is not feasible today to have a negative income tax is because the present welfare bureaucracy would be out of work. They are the major objectors and as Senator Pat - he's now a senator, Pat Moynihan demonstrated in his book on the Nixon program, the chief obstacle to getting it enacted was the welfare bureaucracy. So that I don't believe these administrative problems, if you got it enacted, would be at all serious. O'BANNON: I think the other assumption under the negative income tax, and it's one that I'm not sure I can buy, is that everybody has a minimum level of understanding about how to spend money. In other words, how to use the marketplace to satisfy wishes. And I, as an economist, would say, yes, we do. We - everybody from age four to a hundred knows how to use money to satisfy wants and that's the... FRIEDMAN: But they don't. They don't! There are all sorts of problems of people who are not going to be able to. But that's a minority problem. That's a problem for private activity and private charity. One thing is sure: they're spending... they would be spending their own money, and that however knowledgeable you are about spending money... O'BANNON: They would be spending my money! They...I... FRIEDMAN: They would be spending my money, but it would be one stage less bad. Right now, the welfare worker is spending Mr. A's money to help Mr. C. And there's a big takeoff in the middle as Tom Sowell said. The question is not whether the people on welfare or low incomes can all spend their money effectively; the question is: How effectively do they spend it as compared to how effectively the bureaucrats spend it for them? Comparing anything to perfection or to some arbitrary standard settles nothing. The same thing is true in the education area. They're saying: “Would families be able to spend their - select schools for their kids under a voucher system?" For example: Well, the question is: Could they possibly do much worse than the current bureaucrats are doing in the public school system?
