Is that the “Jaws” them I am hearing in the background?

Yes, I’d like to hear ksen tell us with a straight face how taxes grow the economy by taking money OUT of it.

I don't think ksen will face you directly, but we'll see.

I doubt he can keep up a dialogue on this without admitting he's a full blown lib. Most of his posts on this thread are simple declarations, very leftist in nature, very wrong, and unsupportable in every way unless you're a leftist.

Sorry that I seem to be jumping around instead of commenting on posts chronologically.

I've never claimed that taxes grow the economy. I've claimed that higher marginal rates have not been shown to hurt the economy.

Personally I think what people want is a steady tax rate whatever the rate. Tax uncertainty probably causes a lot more damage than whatever the rate is set at.

Oh, but I have claimed that lower tax rates leads to concentrations of capital and wealth, which I believe the data also bears out.
