How is believing in a proposal you helped create "self-interest"?
I would hope that the architect of a plan such as this would be more than willing to endorse and defend it in public. DUH.
Any substantive comments on Mr. Laffer's analysis? Or do you really think it should just be ignored because Mr. Laffer helped design the plan?

Not to state the obvious, but if one is the creator of a plan, one is indeed bound to sing its praises, yes? Not slam it? Because you are the architect of it? That’s like the creators of Viagra singing its praises in a TV Ad, or a pharmaceutical company singing the praises of Prozac. Think they would say anything bad about their product when they are the developers of it? You don’t find that praise suspect? Geez....
