Tax Cuts Don't Lead to Economic Growth, a New 65-Year Study Finds

Note that I am NOT arguing for a linear relationship in any way, shape or form. Clearly, a tax rate that approaches 100% prevents any activity from taking place in the open.

Also, one could argue that a property tax would be better than an income tax as a way to enforce maintenance of the commons and to provide infrastructure and an educated work-force. (I tend to favor use of taxes as "investment", rather than "money for nothing")

You're knocking down a strawman. The position is that higher tax rates reduce economic growth. Your evidence does not contradict that assertion. Doesn't even touch it. Further, you're dealing with claims and a study that are ideologically driven... so more precision is required, not less.
