Further are you implying that Bastiat was in some sense "partisan?"

No, Bastiat was basicly a mere merchant/trader/middleman who viewed the relation between capital and labor as irreconcilable.

Taylor's genius is that he reconciles those differences in a manner that is mutually beneficial.

I'm trying so see how you arrive at this conclusion based on what he wrote in the "What is seen and not seen" essay - particularly the section on taxes. I must confess I don't see how you reached that conclusion.
