Popis: Since 1998, the Scottish Parliament has had substantial powers to spend but very little power to tax. This has encouraged fiscal irresponsibility, because politicians enjoy spending tax that has been raised by other people. Scottish politicians have not faced the essential discipline of matching their marginal wish to spend with their marginal wish not to tax.
