Let us wait and see what happens in France.  The French government is already at the Laffer maximum, the proletariat are demanding more from the government, rioting and burning down existing culture and history.  The government is promising them more.  But it doesn’t have more to give and cannot get more, for raising taxes will reduce its revenue by Laffer theory.  Now we get to see how Laffer theory performs in real life.
