No matter what the tax rate, the Government usually collects approximately 18% of the GDP, so, is it better to have high tax rates and less jobs, or low tax rates and more jobs? It's like they insist on a high unemployment.

It amazes me how many people STILL believe tax rates and revenue are proportional. How did people ever get convinced the earth wasn't flat.

It is a ploy to get to raise ALL taxes.

Teaching the Laffer curve should be required material by middle school. Otherwise kids will reach voting age without a clue. Oh wait! Too late! Nevermind!
