The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You're attacking the Laffer curve (which no one is really defending anyway) and advancing a narrative that only tax increases can save us because we wouldn't possibly entertain any other scenarios.

No, he's attacking the deliberate misconceptions of the Laffer curve advanced to give tax cuts for the rich. And he's saying SS and Medicare won't be cut due to popularity. Which looks true to me. So the alternative is to return to a pre 2001 tax regime.

No sense looking at Goldilocks until we get it through our heads that an Equinor is feasible, desirable, and stop giving away our resources.
