As longtime advocates for pro-growth economic policies, we write to advise President Donald Trump against any tax proposal that would raise the top individual income-tax rate beyond its current level of 37%. Recent rumors of an increase to 40% or more would represent a dangerous departure from the proven, prosperity-driving principles that have boosted America ever since the Reagan years: That is, lowering tax rates to promote economic prosperity.

Offer nations truly reciprocal free trade: zero-barriers, zero-subsidies. With markets still roiling from the steep tariffs President Trump announced last week, the White House needs a smart and urgent exit strategy to restore confidence. Mr. Trump must make sure that the “short term pain” of last week’s $7 trillion of wealth liquidation doesn’t persist. It’s time to bring on the promised long-term gain from his trade policies. Here’s how to do just that.

OPINION: It’s reasonable to see the nation’s and the world’s attention focused on President Trump’s second inauguration. His return to the White House represents perhaps the most astounding comeback in U.S. political history. It’s a tremendous win for the allied forces of the free market against the axis of collectivism so well represented by the public policy agenda embraced by the outgoing president. Here’s hoping much of that will soon be reversed.

The crazy economic theory that spending has no consequences. Sometimes ideas that seem obviously silly catch on and cause serious destruction. In the late 2000s Australian economist Bill Mitchell coined the term “Modern Monetary Theory,” or MMT, to describe what one might call Keynesianism on steroids.

Sometimes ideas that seem obviously silly catch on and cause serious destruction. In the late 2000s Australian economist Bill Mitchell coined the term “Modern Monetary Theory,” or MMT, to describe what one might call Keynesianism on steroids. John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) argued that government should stimulate the economy by spending and borrowing during a short-term shock like an economic crisis or a war, then pull back to a reasonable level of spending and debt once the crisis has passed.

Ob auf Deutsch, Französisch oder Englisch, die drei erbärmlichsten Wörter sind «nach meiner Meinung», «à mon avis» und «in my opinion». Grübeleien sind keine harten Daten und sollten unbedingt vermieden werden, wenn es um ernsthafte politische Entscheidungen geht. Arthur Laffer ist Ökonom, Vater der Laffer-Kurve und ehemaliger Berater von US-Präsident Ronald Reagan. Theoretisch könnte fast alles passieren, wenn Unternehmenssteuern gesenkt werden.

When Donald Trump entered office in 2017, the richest 1% of tax filers ($675,000 income and above) paid a little more than 40% of the income taxes collected.
