The Laffer curve is a fantastic rhetorical device.
Where's your data showing what the slope of it is for the current US tax regime? Oh, you don't have one? Why not? Afraid it might undermine the rhetoric?
The fraud in Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid isn't that high. If you want to bitch about those programs, bitch that they don't pay market rates for the services they mandate, hiding a tax in the payments other people make for medical services.
