  "account": "Arthur Laffer was a guest at Vox's congress last September. He is known for a 52-year-old incident where he allegedly explained to advisors of Gerald Ford how tax cuts could increase revenue on a napkin at a dinner at the Two Continents hotel. The napkin, now on display, is a copy of the original which was lost. Laffer's idea was presented in simple terms.",
  "summary": "The Laffer curve fuels the myth that a tax cut can lead to higher tax revenue.",
