What is the tradeoff when you cut the highest marginal rates, not from 50% for earned income, and 70% for unearned income, to around 30%, but rather from 40% to around 35%, or or somewhat more than 35%, given the AMT kicking in? And of course, the regression analysis, with only one data set, is suspect to begin with. What co-variables, correlated with the tax cuts perhaps by the accidentally and coterminously, might have been at play? Maybe the regression analysis has a bit of GIGO in it, and maybe if honestly rendered, as a low T stat confidence level.

Lol. Piece of cake, I'll have the answer for you in a jiffy.

Lindsey's study was published as "The Growth Experiment", and includes all the variables that he used for his study. As I recall they were about as eye-glazing as that list you just made.
