Dr. Arthur Laffer is known for his famous ‘Laffer Curve’. He was a member of President Reagan’s Economic Policy Board and an advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In January 2017, he visited the Netherlands and made statements to the effect that “governments are corrupt to the bone”, and the EU is “a state-run organization where the people don’t have a vote”. Arthur Laffer is correct, but what is of crucial concern is the non-critical attitude of the media and journalists.
