Scandinavian countries example, when the individual/home taxes% at some time were ~70%, is calming down laffer's fans.

IMO the only good taxes are the VAT (TVA in french) because you can choose to specifically spare some basic products like food... Or to push it on polluting or luxury products (yes 3rd time im posting that in this section)

As you can see for France - and probably others countries in Europe, VAT is what is giving the most:

Note the individual/home taxes are only 24% of the total



nb: expert here... :lol:

90% of academia is Liberal Democrat. He would never get a fair shake today. The theory has to be judged in a subjective manner also since economics is a social science

The biggest comparison were taxcuts under reagan. The cuts increased revenue but reagan also increased government spending even more so it looked like the opposite


Lol there are tons of conservatives in academia.

Bias is by definition a statistical argument.

But In reality this article doesnt even make a nonstatistical argument

Im the only one here who made and argument by comparing what happened under Reagan
