Just a few minutes ago, Alex Jones used his subtle microphone technique to shout down and intimidate a caller who dared to disagree with him about something as seemingly incontrovertible as going to college. Clearly, this touched a nerve with Jones who couldn't even remember the caller's name and then used this as a club to beat the caller with.
But Jones challenged the caller with the assertion that increasing the rate of taxation reduces the revenue. Unfortunately, the caller did not get the chance to respond properly but I wonder if he had, he might have argued that by extrapolating the argument, Jones was suggesting that reducing the rate of tax, the revenue would increase. This is clearly not a linear argument because if this was the case, by reducing the tax rate to nothing, the revenue would have increased to some imaginary incalculable level.
Jones cannot have much upstairs when it comes to maths or he would not have made such a stupid unqualified claim.
