Steve Forbes says it’s time to dust off the secret weapon that saved America’s economy before. The Laffer Curve—scribbled on a napkin 50 years ago—helped Reagan slash taxes and spark an economic miracle. Now, with America stuck in a slump, cutting taxes again could fire up jobs, wages, and freedom.
The Laffer Curve proves high taxes backfire. When government takes too much, workers lose motivation and businesses flee. Reagan understood this—he slashed rates and watched revenue boom as the economy roared. Today’s sky-high taxes are strangling growth while bureaucrats waste our cash.
Biden’s tax hikes crushed middle-class wallets. Families struggle as inflation eats paychecks. Meanwhile, elites push green boondoggles and handouts for lazy freeloaders. Trump needs to axe taxes now—putting money back in the pockets of hardworking patriots who actually build this nation.
The left screams “tax the rich!” but that kills jobs. Small businesses—not billionaires—get hammered by IRS greed. Lower rates let companies hire more, invest locally, and boost communities. Remember the 80s boom? Factories hummed, wallets fattened, and America led the world.
Globalists hate the Laffer Curve because it works. Europe’s socialist tax rates drowned their economies in debt and decay. China laughs as U.S. regulators tie our own hands. Unleashing American energy, innovation, and grit starts with slashing taxes—not begging Beijing for favors.
Some RINOs waffle, afraid of fake “deficit” fearmongering. Truth? Tax cuts pay for themselves by growing the pie. Reagan’s reforms created 16 million new jobs and doubled revenues. Today’s stagnant economy needs that jolt again—not more handouts for Ukraine or gender studies majors.
The elite media will lie. They’ll claim tax cuts help “the wealthy” while ignoring how truckers, waitresses, and welders benefit. Every dollar stolen by IRS thugs is a dollar not spent on groceries, Little League, or saving for retirement. It’s time to starve the beast and save Main Street.
Trump has a golden chance to replay Reagan’s winning strategy. Wipe out Biden’s punishing taxes, unshackle small businesses, and let Americans keep what they earn. The Laffer Curve isn’t just theory—it’s proven patriot math. Cut taxes, watch prosperity explode, and make America dominate again.
