    Вот перевод моего ответа на английский:
    This is an **economics-themed meme**, which *claims* that Norway’s wealth-tax increase caused a net loss in government revenue.
    **What exactly is shown?**
    **The text:**
    It states that:
    Norway raised its wealth tax;
    it expected to collect +$146M;
    but allegedly lost $448M because $54B in wealth left the country;
    resulting in a total reduction of $594M in tax revenue.
    **The chart:**
    It’s the *Laffer Curve* — a popular but debated economic concept suggesting that if tax rates are too high, government revenue eventually falls due to capital flight, tax avoidance, lower activity, etc.
    **Important to understand:**
    This is **not an official report** and **not a scientific chart**, but a social-media-style visualization making a claim.
    Many such images are **politicized memes**: they use selective data or interpret it in a convenient way.
    The Laffer Curve is a **theoretical model**, not a universal law.
    If you want, I can:
    — fact-check the specific numbers;
    — explain the context of Norway’s wealth tax;
    — show where the argument in this picture is manipulative.

  5. Justifications people meke for wealth inequality.
    1. The Laffer curve.
    - treated like it's a principal rarther than a illustration of an oversimplified idea. To quote the Wikipedia article "Graphical representations of the curve sometimes appear to put the rate at around 50%, if the tax base reacts to the tax rate linearly, but the revenue-maximizing rate could theoretically be any percentage greater than 0% and less than 100%."
    - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_c

    If it were not a tax cut scam, wouldn’t they accept the Menedez amendment to prove to everyone that they believe what they say?

  26. Shocker in Kansas: 104 Republican Officials endorse Kansas Democratic challenger to Republican Governor Sam Brownback, Paul Davis

    Paul Davis ahead of Sam Brownback in recent poll

    Incumbent Red State Republican Governor Sam Brownback is in trouble. He is behind his Democratic challenger Paul Davis 41% vs 47% in the most recent poll. That result is outside the margin of error of the poll.

  28. Conned by Republicans as Democrats cede In Budget Deal

    President Obama took a lot of flak when he said “I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.” Unfortunately that statement is as true then as it is now.

    Americans have been living under Republican policies since Ronald Reagan. It is true that President George Herbert Walker Bush and […]
