My point was that although the Laffer Curve is correct, that lower taxes lead to more government revenue, more government revenue is not the justification for low taxes. It isn’t government’s interest we in America care about. It is the interests of the individual we care about. It’s not “supply side” that justifies low taxes, but an individual’s right to his property.

A man’s right to his property is equal to his right to Life, Liberty, and Free Pursuits. As Madison said, “As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.” A man has as much right to his property of money and land as he does to the property of his freedom.

I was agreeing with you, which is why I said that I know how to spend my money better than the gov’t does. I was arguing the gov’t income side because the Left will never allow something that gives them less power (e.g., the ability to spend other peoples’ income).
