Lawmakers should consider the Laffer curve  

20 days ago by Kids Crafts

The Laffer Curve tax theory is one that's most often used as a Republican argument against raising taxes. Higher taxes, they argue, lead to less revenues and thus, should be avoided. But is that the case all the time? Take a few minutes to check out this 7 minute video produced by the Cato Institute ...

Shaft the Rich, Shaft Yourself  

47 days ago by Crocker
