Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A supplemental expenditure tax (SET) could be imposed at progressive rates in addition to the income tax, and income tax rates lowered correspondingly. The SET is a progressive cash flow consumption tax originally proposed by Nicholas Kaldor in 1955. Its enactment would facilitate income tax reform and simplification--for example, by taxing capital gains at the same rates as ordinary income--and would enable the alternative minimum tax to be repealed. It could be designed so as to facilitate compliance with little additional information required beyond what already has to be gathered for income tax purposes.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
