The clarion call across the country right now is to "tax the rich." From California's proposed wealth tax to the millionaire taxes in Washington and Massachusetts, proponents argue it's about fairness. But what are the actual economic consequences when you punish productivity?

Join Tom Wheelwright as he sits down with economic legend Dr. Art Laffer to dissect why progressive wealth taxes trigger catastrophic economic collapses, how history proves that lowering tax rates actually increases government revenue, and why redistribution always shrinks the total economic pie.

Dr. Art Laffer is the father of supply-side economics and one of the most influential economists in modern history. He served as a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board for both terms, anchoring the historic tax cuts of the 1980s. He has also advised British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, U.S. Secretaries of the Treasury, and various state governors across the political spectrum. A brilliant academic and mathematician, Dr. Laffer holds a PhD from Stanford University and has taught at the University of Chicago.

In this episode, discover why California's proposed wealth tax faces massive state constitutional hurdles, the stark data contrasting high-tax states with the nine states that have no income tax, and a breakdown of "The Transfer Theorem"β€”the mathematical proof of why redistribution reduces overall production.
