Obama doesn't know it even today as is evidenced by his plan to raise taxes ON EVERYONE next year.

Link please.

And, dude, we all know about the Laffer Curve. Its ancient history.

Dave, you friggin' MORON, your own simplistic Laffer CHART claims that rates ABOVE 50% are the "prohibitive range"! WHAT are our tax rates NOW?


They aren't in the "prohibitive range" that produces decreased revenue (according to Laffer). You total idiot.

I love that Laffer Chart! It's so fukkin' retardedly SIMPLE. A bumper-sticker of an economics brain-dead enough for an extreme right wingnut to grasp..
