"A simplified view of the theory is that tax revenues would be zero if tax rates were either 0% or 100%, and somewhere in between 0% and 100% is a tax rate which maximizes total revenue."

I read that the ideal rate is between 16.5% and 17.8%, maximum revenue is achieved to the government. More or less than that range and total revenue to the government falls off.

iirc, wasn’t Forbes rate somewhere around there? I voted for Forbes in the primary, I thought his plan was workable.
