(Fallacy is broken window fallacy but it wasn't in the list) You can't say the taxee benefits from something that equally hurt him before, if that money didnt get taken from him he'd use it on something else. It's the broken window fallacy because it's like saying breaking your window creates a job for the window maker, who can spend the money somewhere else, etc. etc. boosting the economy. Disregarding that the value created was already lost when the window broke. ubister
