[quote=AN]Do you or him can show me the evidence/data which proves that higher marginal rates on businesses owners are simulative? I know my counter is only anecdotal but I haven’t seen any data to counter my example either. The logic of higher marginal rate is stimulative is counter intuitive for me. I have a few anecdotal examples to confirm my thinking that it’s counter intuitive. Maybe the data is really counter intuitive, but I haven’t seen any data to prove it.[/quote]

AN, Consider the following 3 potential outcomes:
1. Higher rates are regressive and per your account make businesses fire employees.
2. There is no relationship between tax rates and an employer’s decisions to hire employees.
3. Higher rates are stimulative.

You take position 1 above while I claim position 2. the first one is also popularly claimed by many conservative & right-wing sites & media i.e. a small business owner complaining that he would have to fire employees if his tax rates go up.
To me, this claim does not make empirical sense as explained earlier and I’d like to know if I am missing something.

But in support of item#1, you respond with an argument against item#3.
