I don't think the 100% taxation = 0 tax revenue is the part of the laffer curve that bugs people. It's the vague possibility of a lower tax rate meaning more revenue leading to economists saying "hey why don't we lower the rate? maybe it will spur a lot of growth. or the worse that can happen is less government revenue which means either more government debt or less welfare"

it's like saying "having all the bitcoins that exist is as useless, valueless as having none of them. So why don't you give some of yours to me?" or something like that.

Right, there's only two points on the curve we're duye about and everyone who ever brings it up seriously always says that we're on the tail end of the curve and by gum any decrease will raise revenue. You'll see! -Gov Brownback, probably

if people hyping the laffer curve took it seriously they'd be calling for higher taxes considering the revenue datapoints we already have. it's another way to pretend your views are based on logic and reason without basing them on the reality we inhabit

DACK FAYDEN posted:Yeah, it's literally just "if you cannot ever make money due to taxes, you won't use money anymore". You'd barter or use scrip or lie, but the government wouldn't see a dime. this was the byzantine-era aristocrat's way of getting out of ever paying taxes. if you had enough slaves on your estate to make everything you'd otherwise have to purchase, there would never be any movement of money therefore no taxation.

greazeball posted:I want to see the maths on going 170km in 20 minutes, presumably with a couple stops along the way In reading this, I think what they are ACTUALLY claiming is that there will be a high-speed rail system that theoretically could achieve a speed of ~500km/h, not that you, a resident of LINE could actually ever travel end to end in 20 minutes. Which is bullshit, but at least remains in the realm of... err... 'physics'. Given that they're also claiming that 'residents are no more than 5-minutes walk from amenities', and that average walking speed is ~4km/h (generously), you'd need a station every ~650m, or... 261 stations end-to-end (ignoring any vertical transport, which you cannot for a structure 500m tall) , so if your train averages 20km/h over that distance, you're lucky.
