Many of Professor McMahon's proposals, and I have attended these meetings throughout the summer and before the recess many times, carry the wish, and I can understand that from past experience, of spreading the tax burden or increasing the tax burden. My question then follows, does that affect inflation? By spreading the burden, does it affect inflation to a greater or lesser extent given the experiences of the past?
