Talk:Tax revenue

Lots of work needed

This hasn't been edited in over a year, and it's a pretty important topic. This needs attention. Silvdraggoj 01:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I am especially interested in what types of revenues does U.S. municipal governments usually employs for funding its operations as opposed to those that are usually only used by federal and/or state government(s). Thanks. Legion 18:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I would like to see figures, charts, and statistics. Phaldo 17:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Laffo curve

I've added a few citations, not entirely positive (I cant find any actual credible economists that believe in the laffer curve, outside of the austrian crank set) to the article. To be honest, the whole laffer curve section should probably be deleted. The concept is borderline pseudoscience. 59.167.111.154 (talk) 14:42, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

The Laffer curve is not pseudoscience even if it is often misused by pseudoscientists. There is a lot of evidence that shows that effective tax rates don't increase every time you increase the marginal (statutory) rates, and effective rates = actual revenue. That's the case for the US during the 50's and 60's. The article by Krugman is not about the general use of the curve but about the ways it can be misinterpreted to fit someone's ideology. 190.248.174.10 (talk) 20:40, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
