Are you coyly suggesting Professor Poofter actually developed some kind of "brilliant model"?Just because you can not understand that there is most efficient tax rate but that it is fluid or elastic because of the millions of different factors that are constantly changing.
Oh wait... you couldn't have meant Professor Poofter!
That phony flatulator flunked math, can't find his way around his own "model" home, and (when he was asked) couldn't even begin to explain how one might find the revenue-maximizing marginal tax rate, let alone offer up a "narrative" that "seems to comport with logic and reason"!

Impossible for a human to calculate but there is a sweet spot that is constantly changing that would actually hit the target.
WTF does often sound like he believes the chief end of man is to maximize tax revenues. That makes me believe he’s not paying anywhere near the 40.8% maximum federal income tax rate. I believe that WTF should have the right to pay 84% of his income to the government if he wants to. Just don’t make other people do it too.

I believe in paying for services rendered and promised. Therefore I think it the duty of government to try and both pay for services and do so at the mist cost efficient way.
Maybe if this generation would actually have to pay for things they wanted (wars, SS, Medicare) they would properly pay and fund those wants. If we did so .... my view is that we would be much more judicious in starting wars, we would be wary of promising full medical benefits if we had to fund the expected costs.
So while I do not WANT higher taxes....I do want our taxes to be in line with out wants. That way we just may decide we do not need or can afford certain things.
I have no objections to that. In fact I think 84% just may be his personal "sweet spot"! Originally Posted by lustyladSounds like you're licking Tiny's sweetspot the way you two go on about each others economic prowess
