A report that came out mid-September, researched and written up by the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan service arm of both the House and the Senate, that showed absolutely no correlation between higher tax rates and the % growth of the economy. Both house and senate republican denounced the findings.

“The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie,” the report said. “However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.”
Again, you have to be in denial to make the argument that taxation rates have ANY detrimental affect to the economy and prosperity. This is just another report of over decades of research that discredit this false notion.
