Laffer Curve

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2004/06/the-laffer-curve-past-present-and-future
Above is a Laffer Curve. It was named after Arther Laffer, a member of Ronald Reagan's economic advisory board. It is designed to show optimal tax rates. It shows that a tax rate of 100% brings in the same revenue as a 0% tax rate. If a population is taxed at 100% that are not incentivized to work thus no tax revenue will be collected.
