Working from home?Then you should pay more tax for the privilege, say economists

Random Deutsche Bank goons - pretty much the dirtiest big bank in the world (easy to search) - are not “economists” in the implied general sense.

As a society we should provide incentives for things we would like to see more of, and disincentives for things we would like to see less of.<p>Working from home is good for the environment, good for work&#x2F;life balance, good in that it spreads demand for housing over a wider area, thus leading to lower housing costs.<p>Why would we want to tax this?

Just tax everyone for breathing.
