1st, one point of the Laffer model is it is impossible to know where you are on the curve. You would have said the same thing before the capital gains tax cuts, but you would have been wrong.

Cutting taxes is not the same thing as throwing cash at corporations. Tax cuts allow those who earned the money to keep it.

Bush and the Republicans who increased spending after 2001 were anything but conservative! That is part of the problem. McCain is also far from conservative, but he is better than Barry. Thanks for reading and commenting. Next time leave your real name.

1. Laffer was right when the top tax rate was 70%. We’re on the other side of the curve now.

2. Comparing current tax revenue under a lower rate, with old projections of tax revenue under the previous, higher rate, is not conclusive at all. Not to mention the fact that there is no 1 projection, there are many, yet your graph shows one. hmmm. You have no basis to compare revenues because you don’t know what they would have been without the tax cut. The “Projections” were never meant to be used the way you are misusing them.

3. ” far-left liberals in the Democrat party like Obama and the “moderate” Republicans like McCain have completely lost the concept of limited government.”

Are you kidding me? Is that some kind of joke? Who the hell did you just call drunken sailors? GWB and the republican controlled congress that passed NCLB and the medicare drug farce. They weren’t moderate, and they weren’t liberal.

EVERYONE in washington has lost the concept of limited government. Don’t try to pretend the right wing is special or different in this regard. The question at this point isn’t whether the government is going to spend, but what they spend it on. You want the government to throw cash at corporations, vote republican. You want the government to throw cash at entitlements, vote democrat.

Small government is dead. Get over it. Move on.
