Default Re: Non-mainstream ideas you would implement if President

[ QUOTE ]
Take the Beatles, for example. In the song "Taxman", the band specifically whines about Britain's 95% tax rate on the wealthy. Yet had the tax rate been lower, would it somehow have motivated the Beatles to make a better album than Revolver?

This might be the worst example you could have used. The Beatles stopped doing concerts about this time in their careers, which is where musicians make most of their money. So would they have made better music without the taxes? Probably not. Would more people have gotten to see them in concert? Probably.
