  • Yes, inequality is increasing in the US.

    But I don’t really get how that relates. Anyway, may point is that if you bracket the tax at high enough incomes, maybe not even a 99% marginal tax rate will suffice for making rich people move away. Those people are rich, they don’t care about spending some money to live where they want.

    The same is not true about the poor, by the way. It’s easy to tax them so much that they leave.

    And Laffer focusing his work on the rich was the cheapest and most plain sell-out on the academic history.

    When people say they “believe” in science, I think they mean they are putting their faith into the scientists performing the science. That whatever conclusion they come to after an experiment or study is the correct conclusion.

    That’s literally what they mean, where “scientists” may as easily mean real scientists as charlatans.

    It’s still completely antagonistic to how science is practiced (if scientists behaved like that, they would never learn anything), and something closer to religion than science.
