- W2048933650 abstract "I am appalled by the “communist” attitudes expressed in all three published letters on the issue of Nobelists’ taxes ([2 May, p. 661][1]). These letters give the impression that the Nobel prize money is more like illicit gambling proceeds, better to be confiscated for the benefit of the “institutions” or the “national debt,” certainly to be taxed. Having known a Nobel laureate personally, I can testify that in winning the prize, what counted most was his insight gained through thinking about an important scientific issue for a long time before everyone else, and a lot of hard work to bring an original idea to fruition, not necessarily a deeper dip into the common pool of research funds. Indeed, major breakthroughs in science often generate huge economic returns for humanity that make the $1-million prize paltry by comparison. Giant contributions to science deserve every single cent of the Nobel Prize—that’s my bottom line. The only concesssion I am willing to make is that, because people tend to receive the prize after they are well established, when they need the money least, if they donate part of their prize to charitable causes (and they often do), then it is to be appreciated, not demanded.
