Dr. Laffer has this disturbing, nagging problem of being not just right, but EXTREMELY right.
Yet, for their part, the Keynesians are so determined to do the opposite of his advice that I wish he would tell them to *not* repeatedly hit themselves in the forehead with a claw hammer, lest they hurt themselves.
Some of them would be unconscious on the floor, others after having woken up would be bashing themselves on the forehead again, still others would be unclear on the idea and bashing other body parts, and the rest, suffering grievous injuries would be like the Monty Python “black knight”, rejecting any notion that they were harmed in any way, and in fact, were getting the best results possible by bashing themselves in the forehead.
I suppose it’s not so bad if they do these things to themselves, but they shouldn’t be allowed to keep bashing the economy on its forehead with a claw hammer.
The Left will remain unconvinced, contending that each confiscated-and-spent tax dollar would either have languished unspent or wasted misspent. They have no comprehension money held by the “rich” does in fact get spent, thinking instead it sits in a vault, and feel superior that _they_ know where every dollar _should_ be spent, clueless as to why it is not in fact spent there unmolested.
