Great work on Economics. The name is a misnomer and does not do justice to the subject though.

Congrats! This is similar in many ways to a slideshow version of ’An Idiots Guide to Tax Economics’ ~this is definitely meant to be a compliment.

Additionally, would like to say that its both sad and disappointing to see so much negativity in many of the comments. Assume this is primarily due to the political proximity of this topic.

Perhaps said parties feel offended because it is an inconvenient truth. Sure is easier to blame ’the man’, ie, the ’Businessman’ in this story.

Congratulations for the Grand Prize! You deserve it at least for your talent to educate a person like me (one that is unable to calculate his own restaurant bill) about the tax system. It so easy and clear.

Are you really saying that workers don’t pay taxes? So I’m not paying taxes? What have I been paying? Maybe I’m the only worker paying taxes - right?

Get back to how the biz guy, the exec & the worker got rewarded by their respective effort.
The way the drunken maths was described is twisted to distort. The rich need to help the others more, the poor need to help themselves more.

Drunkenomics - The Story of Bar Stool Economics - Presentation Transcript

The Short Story of Drunkenomics
A typical industrial town
Image credit: the_repairman * flickr Worker Executive Businessman Meet our Heroes and also good ole’ buddies
Image credit: Marty FM * flickr They drink and make merry enjoying their Boys Day Out Party, EVERYDAY!!!
Image credit: Marty FM * flickr Their daily tab hovers around $100 which they always share “fairly”
$67 $0 $33 Image credit: Marty FM * flickr They split the tab the way they pay taxes Biz guy pays $67, Exec pays $33 & Worker $0
Image credit: Marty FM * flickr and manage to find their way back home (always with hearty laughter & heavy swagger)
Until One Day …
Image credit: Marty FM * flickr When the Barman announces a $20 discount as a goodwill gesture to his loyal customers
Image credit: Marty FM * flickr They decide to split the $20 discount in the same “ratio” as how they split the tab
$67 $53 $33 $27 $0 $0 Image credit: Marty FM * flickr Biz guy pays $14 less & the Exec pays $6 less with the Worker, as usual, paying Zilch
$0 Image credit: Marty FM * flickr and walk away exploring their druken mathematics
Why do I get only $6 of $20 discount? Why did I get nothing of the $20 discount ? Drunken realization
The rich guy got 50% more than what I got ! And I got nothing out of the $20 ! They “zero in” on the anti-hero ( a scape goat can always be found )
You scheming thief! @#(*&#$( You exploiter of the poor! @#(*&$@#(*&$ And beat the Biz guy senseless
The next day …
Image credit: The Natural Stones Our two friends go to the bar (the businessman not joining them henceforth)
Image credit: The Natural Stones And enjoy their usual rounds complete with their daily cheer & merry
Image credit: The Natural Stones When the tab ($67) for the two is presented …
Image credit: The Natural Stones THEY GET BUSTED Their normal contribution of $33 doesn’t even cover half the tab anymore
AND THAT , Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, Journalists & Professors, IS HOW OUR TAXATION AND TAX CUTS WORK !
People who pay the highest taxes, benefit the most from tax cuts Drunkenomics = Drunken + Economics
If you ignore this “drunkenomics” and attack them for being wealthy, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is friendlier V Leaving you permanently short of your tab
