	What is Reagan's point? High tax rates do not necessarily translate into high tax revenue for the government. When taxes are excessively high, people will find ways not to pay them. There are legitimate and illegitimate ways to reduce what would be high taxes. Legitimate would include making charitable donations, intentionally taking capital losses and using alternative income streams. Illegitimate might include, to cite one of Reagan’s own examples, barter. In my [TwoCommentaries\|4th podcast episode], Reagan mentions Sweden's high tax rate and how using barter might allow workers to avoid getting bumped into a higher tax bracket.

	Kemp-Roth, named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kemp Representative Jack Kemp] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Roth Senator William Roth], was a bill to reduce overall taxes and index the tax code. The Carter administration fought against and eventually defeated it... but I don't know how. Did it die in a committee? Floor vote? Did Carter veto it? In researching the bill, the vast majority of what I find references the successful version from 1981, not the failed attempt about 3 years earlier.
