Yes, but I'm not disputing that, nor is that the substance of your attack on my comment. You attacked the Laffer curve, not the presupposition that the article is factually correct, which does not discredit or undermine the Laffer curve. At best, it only removes its relevance.

Those who assert the right value is super close to zero have also been repeatedly shown to be incorrect, but they keep trying. The US could probably double top marginal taxes and not reduce revenue.
