I'm definitely including the original Florida stand your ground one. specifically bad ones, or line graphs in general? if the former, big fan of the National Review's since deleted "the only climate change graph you'll ever need"  the stand your ground chart was based off of the o.g. "iraq's bloody toll" which i think is an interesting counterpoint because the figure/ground stuff works much better for it than in the florida chart

Such a classic. I like the leap from "only need two points to draw a straight line" to "only need two points to draw a curve". Edit: in addition to the heavy cherry picking going on, of course. jjack229 has a new favorite as of 18:59 on Nov 5, 2019 |

I still have to stop and stare at that graph every time. It just is so ridiculous.

Has anyone actually seen the article that is from? For all I know, it could be saying the reality doesn't mach the tax revenue predicted by the model and showing this graph.

I don't know what article that specific graph is from so yeah it might be aiming to debunk it, but the concept depicted is one that a lot of "experts" take seriously. Experts in quotes there because it's peak Reaganomics where they're starting from a conclusion ("high taxes are bad") and working backwards to create the data to support it. Nobody who actually understands economics takes it seriously.

Even the concept of the Laffer curve is a big "citation needed". It's just the idea that at a 0% tax rate, you'll get 0 tax revenue, and at a 100% tax rate, nobody will bother to work, so there will still be 0 tax revenue. People draw whatever shapes they want in between. The idea that people would just sit around if they didn't have a direct profit incentive (or, in the case of the graph shown earlier, if corporations didn't have a direct profit incentive) seems very dubious to me. Give me a living stipend and something interesting and meaningful to do, I'll work extra hard if I like what I'm doing regardless of whether it directly benefits me.

I'm pretty sure that chart was from The Economist, so no, they thought they were dropping truth bombs.

Any model that doesn’t fit the data as well as a simple linear regression is garbage. Also, Karia, your avatar is hypnotic.

This is funny and it's not exactly a scientific study, but at the same time I find it to be deeply disturbing. These are people with serious potential health issues. I kind of want to see the stats for 2019.
