Look at the Laffer curve - named after Arthur Laffer. "The Laffer Curve is a theory developed by supply-side economist Arthur Laffer to show the relationship between tax rates and the amount of tax revenue collected by governments. The curve is used to illustrate Laffer's main premise that the more an activity such as production is taxed, the less of it is generated."www.investopedia.com/terms/l/laffercurve.aspThis becomes more complicated when there is a low tax area where business or individuals can move to. That may be to another country or to another state. So New York and California are losing 'rich' people to states like Florida and Texas which do not have income tax. The rust belt states were losing jobs to Canada and Mexico and the computer industry is decamping en-masse to India and the far east where the company tax rates are a lot lower. Each time someone with high taxes moves their income from the high tax country/state to the low tax regime a huge amount is lost by the high tax country/state as generally the top 5 - 10% of earners (companies and individuals) pay the majority of the tax. The simplistic zero sum calculations will not show this loss of taxable income nor will it show loss of productivity and jobs. The zero sum politicians then increase taxes even further and try to legislate to stop people 'taking money' out of their country/state - actually increasing the loss of capital, jobs and tax revenue. The most striking example today of the failure of the Laffer curve is Kansas. My cousin, who is a staunch Republican, also a retired very successful businessman, says Kansas has turned into the biggest cluster **** you could imagine. Didn't work in Reagan's time on a national scale, won't work today.

Didn't work in Reagan's time on a national scale, won't work today. Missouri has always known that.

So way to go the big orange! Thast's the rest of the UK , that you hadn't fecked off, now fecked off. You must have looked long and hard for the link as the only ones that come up in the UK are the debunkers putting folk straight on the lies/disinformation B.F. put out. Most often there are some quality posts below said item as one or other of their 13 membership try to big up the post..... moose limbs indeed!
Funny thing being that Jayda , apart from being a common criminal again awaiting trial, is she is an immigrant! I know in the U.S. most all of you are but the far right in the UK put a lot of stay in 'Being British'......

You are lucky us gun firing folks took care of your need to fire guns on British soil Graywolf. Indeed. It was the actions of the British that led to: 1st Amendment - Freedom of Religion - See the Popery Act, the Papists Act and The Gordon Riots - all reasons the government should NOT tell people what flavor of Christianity they were allowed 2nd Amendment - Right to keep and bear arms - to prevent the 'government' seizing weapons and then using their own against the disarmed 3rd Amendment - No soldier in time of peace can be quartered in a private house without consent - to prevent the 'government' from doing what the soldiers of King George did as a matter of course 4th Amendment - No Unlawful Search and Seizure - to prevent the 'government' randomly stopping passers by and seizing their property etc etc etc as The Constitution was putting right what was seen as wrong in the treatment by and of the British.

Before Jihad we were always told that British policemen didn't carry enough firepower to take down a squirrel ... but after, now carry enough to take out a small brigade. Well ... that's what certain types of diversity will get ya. We're taking notes and hoping to avoid groups where a large portion really hate our guts but smile over their mochas. Good luck setting the folk straight on that disinformation.

This is getting to be depressing - but as the news slowly seeps out perhaps people will turn against those fomenting violence... "According to a bombshell new 220-page report, Charlottesville police chief Al Thomas ordered police to stand down at the "Unite the Right" rally in August because he said it would "make it easier to declare an unlawful assembly."" www.informationliberation.com/?id=57686

That's tough to combat since the mayor of NYC is an ANTFA sympathizer.
