Strange article which fails completely because it has a faulty premise.


The idea that the tax rate should be set at the rate which generates the most revenue for the government is completely bonkers.

Tax rate should be set at the lowest possible amount to pay for that which is absolutely necessary for the government to preform. Just because the government could raise more in taxes does not mean it should.

Also, seems a bit strange on one hand to talk about the drastically diminishing satisfaction that wealthy get on those few extra dollars but then talk about how they care so much about wanting lower taxes. Maybe they just think they want lower taxes, but when they have them they don’t really care.
