...idea that high tax rates brought diminishing returns was not controversial or even new--Laffer traces it to 14th century Muslim philosopher Ibn Khaldun. But few economists in the 1970s even considered that real-world tax rates could be on the wrong side of the Laffer Curve. Laffer thought they might be, and Wanniski argued on the Journal's editorial page and elsewhere that they almost certainly were. The claim became a key plank of Ronald Reagan's successful 1980 campaign for President...
...Klein is wrong about the Democrats being "tone-deaf" on national security.

And I thought, They have made a mistake equal to anything wrong America has done. I remember thinking that it could turn into their Vietnam...
...concept of John Harvard as a character is not me at all, which was actually very liberating to play. I think people that saw me were like, “Oh, there’s Alex and he’s crying. Oh my God. What’s wrong? Oh yeah, he’s in a movie. Got it.” I don’t think they were expecting the intensity of the film. FM: We all feel deeply connected to John Harvard…but crying about him?! How exactly did you pull that...
