    It's about coming up with a justification for letting the rich keep more of their money. Same as trickle down.

    Sorry to hear it, Bob. Can't call the offenders "scum", since Angela Rayner says that's an everyday friendly greeting up north

    I'll not waste my time further than this:

    Which of these two rates of income tax do you think would raise more revenue - 100% or 50%?

    I won't dignify that with an answer. The Laffer theory is just that, a theory. It's associated with the discredited Reaganomics, described by another Republican, George H W Bush, as 'voodoo economics'. A spurious justification, along with 'trickle down', for reducing taxation on the rich. Simplistic claptrap.

    Very similar to employers who cry crocodile tears when saying they will go out of business if the minimum wage rises and they have to pay their employees a decent wage.

    It’s all for our own good, don’t you know
