Twofer Tuesday (Plus Two) The Heretical Laffer Curve

Lefties sneer at the Laffer Curve. The curse it. Mostly, they dismiss it. But they never refute it.

TAX RATES GO DOWN, REVENUES GO UP

THIS IS A BIT TECHNICAL BUT HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT

I am genuinely shocked that Charles Gibson would even address the Laffer Curve concept. And according to Gibson's question, Laffer's 28% might be too high for optimum revenue procurement.

OBAMA ADDRESSES THE LAFFER CURVE

Obama dances around the topic and evens suggests that he will usher in an era of fiscal responsibility. This is politics at its worst. Listen carefully to his credit card analogy. Just when you thought your cynicism ran dry, Obama taps another well.

It was insider vs. outsider. I was once more ahead of my time. At 3:40 of this video, Dan Mitchell states what I had said over and over and over (trust me, I can be repetitive.) Thanks for the footnote, Dan.
