For some reason the Labour government in New Zealand in the mid-2000s could not bring itself to admit it was introducing a huge tax cut for families. To avoid admitting it ever gave a tax cut, that Labour government called the huge family tax credit introduced in 2004 and 2005 Working for Families.

Ordinary French, Germans, Italians and Danish pay much higher marginal tax rates and that is before their high rates of GST.

Everybody agrees there is a Laffer Curve when it suits them.
The Left talks about poverty traps arising from means testing of social insurance and welfare benefits but denies flatly that high marginal tax rates will affect the labour supply of the rich and willing to do.
You cannot have it both ways.

In work tax credits for families in Working For Families certainly makes a difference to the after-tax, after government transfers living standards of the family on an average wage.

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
