Agathon,
What have your run ins with austrian school economists been like?
Oh, and the laffer curve isn't "insane weird ****". Saying that every tax cut will increase government revenues is "insane weird ****". The laffer curves simply says you'll collect zero tax revenue with 2 tax rates- 0% and 100%. Somewhere inbetween 0 and 100% tax revenue will be maximized. So yes, reducing tax rates can increase revenue. Keyword is can.
