Вот перевод моего ответа на английский:
This is an **economics-themed meme**, which *claims* that Norway’s wealth-tax increase caused a net loss in government revenue.
**What exactly is shown?**
**The text:**
It states that:
Norway raised its wealth tax;
it expected to collect +$146M;
but allegedly lost $448M because $54B in wealth left the country;
resulting in a total reduction of $594M in tax revenue.
**The chart:**
It’s the *Laffer Curve* — a popular but debated economic concept suggesting that if tax rates are too high, government revenue eventually falls due to capital flight, tax avoidance, lower activity, etc.
**Important to understand:**
This is **not an official report** and **not a scientific chart**, but a social-media-style visualization making a claim.
Many such images are **politicized memes**: they use selective data or interpret it in a convenient way.
The Laffer Curve is a **theoretical model**, not a universal law.
If you want, I can:
— fact-check the specific numbers;
— explain the context of Norway’s wealth tax;
— show where the argument in this picture is manipulative.
