The '''Laffer Curve''' is a theory developed by supply-side economist Arthur Laffer to show the relationship between tax rates and the amount of tax revenue collected by governments. The curve is used to illustrate Laffer’s argument that sometimes cutting tax rates can increase total tax revenue.<ref>Definition - What is the Laffer Curve [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/laffercurve.asp#:~:text=The%20Laffer%20Curve%20is%20a,can%20increase%20total%20tax%20revenue.

 # The government would collect no revenue at a 0% tax rate.
 #At a 100% tax rate, the government would also collect no revenue because there would be no incentive for people to work and earn income if all income is taken away as tax.
 #At rates between 0% and 100%, the curve predicts that increasing tax rates will increase government revenue up to a point. After this point, the curve shows that further increases in the tax rate will actually lead to a decrease in total revenue.

The curve was named after American economist Arthur Laffer, who introduced the concept during the Reagan administration.
		+
		+	The Laffer Curve's basic premise is that no tax revenue will be generated at the extreme tax rates of 0% and 100%, and that there will be some tax rate between 0% and 100% that maximizes government taxation revenue.
		+
		+	Here's how it works:
		+
		+	# The government would collect no revenue at a 0% tax rate.
		+
		+	#At a 100% tax rate, the government would also collect no revenue because there would be no incentive for people to work and earn income if all income is taken away as tax.
		+	#At rates between 0% and 100%, the curve predicts that increasing tax rates will increase government revenue up to a point. After this point, the curve shows that further increases in the tax rate will actually lead to a decrease in total revenue.
		+
		+	The Laffer Curve is often used to argue against high tax rates. Critics say that the curve oversimplifies the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue and that it's difficult to determine the precise tax rate that maximizes revenue.
		+
		+	It's important to note that the Laffer Curve is a theoretical model, and economists debate the shape of the curve and the actual relationship between tax rates and government revenue in real-world economies.
