In 1974, Arthur Laffer sketched his theory of tax policy over dinner with Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, then young officials in the Ford administration. That theory on a napkin became known as a the 'Laffer curve'.
In simple terms at a zero tax rate, everyone works but the Government has no revenue; at a tax rate of 100 percent no-one works and the Government still gets no revenue.
Laffer's back-of-the-napkin theory is that the optimal tax rate for taxpayers and Government is definitely on the low side.
Dr Arthur Laffer speaks to Ticky.
