Laffer, of "Laffer Curve" fame, was the guy who presented Reagan with the notion of "trickle down" economics - tax cuts for the rich and for capital gains profits supposedly yielding job creation. No such luck. The elites gaining tax breaks would figure out how to avoid taxation while seeking out the cheapest overseas labor. The crisis here stems from chronic underpayment of the major share of the labor force and government aid to speculators and scoundrels paid by the Pentagon.

KARStarla:Ron Paul would have United this country.he would have been a President of the PEOPLE

[therealcaptobvious]

actually Paul Craig Roberts was replaced by Laffer, who he does not agree with. Laffer was the guy who pushed Keynesian economics and credit into the markets.

[KARStarla]

Ron Paul is the only one that could have saved this economy
