What's it going to be: Tax cuts to raise revenue, or lower revenue to force spending cuts?
  • NOT True!

    Almost no reputable economists support the discredited supply-side "Laffer curve" hypothesis that tax cuts result in increased revenue[.]

    This simply is not true. Many (most? almost all? No research here!) reputable economists support the Laffer hypothesis at some tax rate. It is true that no one with an intact reputation believes the Laffer hypothesis to be true at current U.S. tax rates.
