So it is really a nonsense argument against a Tobin tax.

Sorry, don’t understand. It was the whole point of the original article that the case against a Kendrick tax is that if Government consumes more, others must consume less. So if it is actually not true that more consumption by Government must equal less consumption by somebody else, then the article’s case against the Kendrick tax falls.

Not at all. Of course there are circumstances in which overall consumption might rise — but what does that have to do with the tax on Kendrick? Nothing.
