Come on @GroverNorquist lets play! Pretend I never studied economics. Explain to me the optimal corporate and personal income tax rates and how deviations from them impact the economy.

This should be fun.

The best tax rate?
One clue. In 1774 the average American in the 13 colonies paid between one and two percent of their income in taxes.
1-2%. Seems reasonable.
One rate. One time. No double taxation. Good target. https://t.co/Ac7iq1dZLg

They also weren’t paying for a fleet of nuclear aircraft carriers, a massive nuclear arsenal, a couple trillion in invisible fighter jets, a standing army, a national infrastructure and highway system, or acting as the world police force. To name a few things. https://t.co/FDEdu0lglm
