The Laffer curve and supply-side economics

About this model

Arthur Laffer, 1974. Tax revenue is zero at 0% and at 100%; above some rate, cutting taxes raises work and investment enough to raise revenue. A teaching model: it keeps only this core loop and leaves out everything else a real economy has.
