Just to suggest another belief (and belief system) that at least approaches that frontier:
“There has not been one tax increase in history that actually raised revenue. And every tax cut, from the 1920s to Kennedy’s to ours, has produced more.”

(It is perhaps only coincidental that the year was 1984.)
“From the inside, ideology usually looks like common sense.”
--John Quiggin
