Your mockery of the Laffer Curve shows how little you understand about economics. It’s a real, proven concept. No, it doesn’t mean that every time you cut taxes you get more revenue. It shows that when you cut taxes, you get less tax avoidance, which can paradoxically lead to higher revenues in *some* cases. This has been proven in both models and the real world. More broadly speaking, the conveniently ignored concept of tax avoidance demonstrates why liberal tax hikes always fail. Liberals always neglect to score their tax proposals dynamically. A 10% tax hike doesn’t mean you get 10% more in revenue. The real value might be something like 9% or 8% due to tax avoidance and behavior changes.

But I know that your low watt liberal brain didn’t want a nuanced discussion of the Laffer Curve. You just wanted to throw around some insults by mocking conservative concepts you have no understanding of.

Go watch some more John Oliver so you can feel smart again.
