    No it doesn't. The article makes the ASSUMPTION that's the case. Now read the rest of the article where it says:

    Uh oh, you skipped the part of the article that says this:

    "Forbes writer J.J. MacNab discovered Riehl’s Facebook page, in which he identifies himself as “Matt Gonzo,” and where he has posted multiple memes featuring Pepe the Frog, the cartoon that has been appropriated as a symbol for white nationalists. Other of Riehl’s Facebook posts include calling former President Barack Obama a “lying piece of sh*t” and shared posts from alt-right website Breitbart News."

    Oh and you want an example of Antifa killing americans? This one will do just fine. [mic.com] 26 dead at a church. Self-identified as a "UAF" that's "united against facsism" was a hardcore leftist who hated christians, and a extreme atheist to boot. UAF is a splinter of antifa.

    Except you just made up the part about "UAF", didn't you?

    All the conspiracy theories about Devin Patrick Kelley (the ex-Air Force guy who shot up the church in Texas) being "anti-fascist" and an "antifa terrorist" have been debunked. All of them. They seem to have been started when someone photoshopped a phony screenshot of his Facebook page including an antifa flag.

    There was no connection between antifa and the Sutherland, Texas shooting. Try again.

    The Laffer Curve dead-enders have been refuted time and time again in economics studies. Your example of 0% vs 100% tax rates don't really bear out in real life. We've been hearing this quasi-religious dedication to supply-sideism since the 1970s and it just doesn't happen. It increases the wealth of the top fraction of a percent, and degrades the wealth of everyone below that.

    In fact in best Laffer curve fashion

    The Laffer Curve is a fraud. It's not real, as in it's nonsense.

    https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/...

    And it doesn't really seem all that unreasonable for the US to cut corporation tax rates given it has the highest tax rate in the OECD.

    It is not true that the actual corporate tax rate in the US is higher than the other OECD countries. It's a canard, as in lie, as in bogus.

    Supply-siders love to talk about Laffer curves and "the highest corporate tax rates in the world", but they have sold you a bill of goods. Their claims don't match up with reality.

    Hmm, the NYT and The Atlantic don't like tax cuts. Democrats don't like tax cuts. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, and not that the NYT and Atlantic are only reporting things that fit the Democrat agenda.

    The NYT and Atlantic were just reporting on a 65-year study from the Congressional Research Office (in 2012, Congress was controlled by Republicans).

    I.e. lower corporate taxes mean higher growth 'the coefficient of CIT rate is negative and statistically significant' .

    That's not what history has shown. The study you cited was based on the Canadian economy. The data is significantly different here in the US.
