Gary Burtless and Timothy Noah on Wet Basements

"Reynolds’s paper didn't deny notable increases in top incomes, but he argued that these were due to changes in tax law and/or to isolated and unusual financial events. This, Burtless answered, was akin to arguing that, 'adjusting for the weather and the season, no homeowner in New Orleans ended up with a wet basement' after Hurricane Katrina."
