The theory that tax cuts could increase government revenues is known as the Laffer Curve. It posits that there is an optimal tax rate that maximizes revenue; if tax rates are too high, they may discourage work and investment, leading to lower overall tax revenues. Conversely, reducing tax rates could stimulate economic activity, potentially leading to higher revenues despite the lower rates. However, the effectiveness of this theory is widely debated among economists.
