The unavoidable implication of this argument is that when we calculate what the tax rate for the superrich will be, we should not consider the effect of changing their tax rate on their happiness, for we know that it is zero. Rather, the key question must be the effect of changing their tax rate on the well-being of the rest of us.
这一观点的一个不可避免的推论是，当我们计算什么才是适合最富阶层的税率时，我们不应该考虑税率改变对他们的幸福的影响，因为我们知道这种影响是零。关键问题应该是改变他们的税率对其他人福利的影响。
