Maybe you over-estimate the Laffer curve - "sometimes cutting tax rates can result in increased total tax revenue"

Correct. I didn't claim otherwise. My point is that increasing taxes to raise revenue - just isn't that simple.

Most high net worth individuals will.

Every time you mention the Laffer curve, people respond as if that theory has no merit at all. It is in fact plain to see in action currently since the government raised tax rate from 33% to 39% for earnings over $180k, where people who may have been happy to pay 33% over $180k are now finding ways to completely avoid paying any tax, or reducing tax over $180k - the net result being less tax to the government from that demographic than may have been had the tax rate not been raised.

Such entitlement when young people pay 50% when including gst and student loan repayments.

We need capital based taxes on the wealthy in NZ.

That's exactly what happens.
