ABSTRACT

In January, Newt Gingrich proposed a tax credit for the poorest Americans to purchase laptop computers, forgetting for the moment that the poorest Americans do not pay taxes and thus a credit does them no good. In this case, his heart may be in the right place, even if he later called the idea “nutty.”
