us to lose focus on our goal. Itis easy for us to succumb tophysical needs and illness. Weare still living as aliens in thisworld. Nevertheless, Chris-tian families do have morehope. They have a focus thatguides them and gives themmeaning and purpose.

When my colleagues and Iasked more than 200 teensabout their religious faith andabout their contentment in life,we found a positive relation-ship. Teens who expressedgreater religiosity tended toindicate more contentment. Alife of faith does not in anyway imply that your troubleswill go away, but it does en-sure that you are headed onthe right road.

“A man who has faith can-not be unhappy, because he isnever alone.”

The U.S. economy has re-cently suffered its deepest andmost prolonged recessionsince the Great Depression.The fundamental causes of therecession and the slow recov-ery are two decades of poorlyconceived housing credit andother policies and the adop-tion of long-ago discardedKeynesian policies. The latterpolicies have failed to rejuve-nate the economy and haveleft behind a massive accu-mulation of national debt. Thisaccumulation has signifi-cantly constrained the policyoptions of the Federal Reserve,Congress, and state and localgovernments. State fiscalpolicy reform therefore needsto include policies that willsupport economic growth andbreak with the long traditionof high levels of taxation, gov-ernment spending, and inter-vention at the state level. Thestates must do this alone be-cause the federal governmentwill be in no position to pro-vide financial assistance. In

this setting, defenders of thestatus quo and advocates forthe so-called “progressive” re-forms of higher taxes andgreater government involve-ment have sought to discreditlegitimate, research-basedstate fiscal policy reforms. Thepurpose of this article is to setthe record straight regardingrecent pro-growth reform pro-posals, and to illustrate thetheoretical and empirical my-thology that is used to dis-credit reform efforts. Variousscholarly articles and papersare referenced throughout thisarticle. Detailed citations areavailable in the bibliographyto the report “Tax Myths De-bunked,” published lastmonth by the American Leg-islative Exchange Council(ALEC), from which this ar-ticle is excerpted.

Free-Market Viewvs. ‘Progressive’ ViewStates must increasingly

devise their own methods ofbalancing service demandsand revenue realities. At thesame time, they are faced witha range of competing policytools. In choosing the correcttool, state policymakers mustrecognize several inescapablefacts:

1. Economic growth – es-pecially employment growth– is the key metric by whichthe electorate grades itspolicymakers. Elected leadersmust evaluate revenue-raisingschemes and spending pro-

grams with an eye toward howthe policies would stimulateor stifle economic growth.

1. Fiscally speaking, it’smuch easier to balance a bud-get with reduced spendingthan with increased revenues.

2. Private-sector spendingand investment has a muchgreater impact on economicgrowth than public-sectorspending.

3. Public-sector spendingforces out private sectorspending and investment.

The debate is between free-market economists and thosewho would preserve or en-large the role of governmentas a growth strategy. At oneend of the range are those whoadvocate free-market ap-proaches. Free-market econo-mists demonstrate that greatereconomic freedom fosters eco-nomic growth and that gov-ernment intervention stiflesthat growth. Policies that lib-erate the private sector fromonerous taxes and regulationswill spur economic growth.Greater economic growth si-multaneously will reduce thedemand for costly govern-ment services and increasegovernment revenue.((At theother end of the range arethose who advocate for a largeand growing role for govern-ment and the public sector.This approach is born out of abelief that the free market isfundamentally flawed andsubject to numerous market

failures. The implicit beliefsystem of such advocates isthat regulations can mitigatemarket failures without anyeconomic cost. This belief sys-tem supports the notion thatpublic enterprise can replaceprivate firms and that taxesserve the dual progressive roleof raising revenue to supportthe public enterprises whileredistributing wealth to thosewho are deemed to deserve itmore, whether earned or not.To avoid pejorative labels, wewill simply refer to these twopositions as the free-marketand status quo/progressivepositions,respectively.

OCPA/Laffer Study‘Well Founded’

Well-respected economicsauthorities have advanced taxreform proposals that offer theprospect of helping statesgrow their economies. Theseproposals are referred to as“free-market” proposals be-cause their intent is to removeimpediments to real recoveryof the private economy. Thisis necessary not only to ad-vance the economic well-be-ing of the states’ residents, butalso to provide an economywith enough vigor to supportkey public activities and ser-vices. One such analysis was“Eliminating the State IncomeTax in Oklahoma: An Eco-nomic Assessment,” pub-lished in 2011 by OCPA andArduin, Laffer and MooreEconometrics (ALME). Wefound the proposal to be wellfounded in widely acceptedtheory and empirical work.We also reviewed “progres-sive” critiques of the OCPA/ALME study and other tax-reform proposals. The cri-tiques, coming primarily fromaffiliated progressive organi-zations and networks, cameacross as “sound-bite” publicrelations campaigns. There isvirtually no part of the record

of the critics that can be con-strued as having contributedin a meaningful way to thetheory, measurement, andanalysis of the tax reform de-bate. Yet, they have been dis-tributed widely as if they areresearch products. The au-thors of the critiques appearto labor under mythologicalor, at best, ambiguous appre-ciation of what the profes-sional literature has to sayabout the issues relevant tothe work of Arthur Laffer, etal. The OCPA/ALME studyanalyzed the effect of thegradual elimination ofOklahoma’s individual in-come tax. Currently,Oklahoma’s top marginal taxrate on individuals is 5.25 per-cent. The phase-out woulddrop the top rate to 2.25 per-cent in 2013 and completelyphase it out by 2022.

1. Personal income growthwould be an average of 1.9percentage points higher, add-ing $47.4 billion in personalincome in 2022.

2. In 2022, state GDP wouldbe $53.4 billion, or 21.7 per-cent higher than if the currenttaxes remain in place.

3. State employmentgrowth would be an averageof 1.5 percentage pointshigher, with 312,200 morepeople working in Oklahomaafter the phase-out of indi-vidual income taxes.

3. The proposed tax reformwould lower revenues rela-tive to the no-reform case by$365 million in 2013 to $2.1billion by 2022. However, theincreased growth in GDP andpersonal income would buoyrevenues from other sources,such as sales taxes, excisetaxes, business taxes, and lo-cal tax sources.

4. On balance, the share oftotal taxes relative to personalincome is anticipated to de-cline from its current 8.7 per-

cent to approximately 6.8 per-cent by 2022.

Many of the study’s con-clusions are supported withempirical evidence. The keyimpact predictions, however,are derived from regressionanalysis provided in thereport’s appendix. The statis-tical model calculates the re-lationship between statutorymarginal tax rates on indi-vidual income and the rate ofgrowth of personal income atthe state level, using actualhistorical data. The statisticalmodel tests the supply-sideproposition that the top mar-ginal tax rate influences stateeconomic growth. It also ex-

Easter visions —During Holy Week, prior to Easter,Nellie Sanders looked out herwindow at the Emmanuel LutheranChurch while brewing her morningcoffee and noticed the black crossmade for the church by Ora Yoderwas glowing orange. Sanders foundthe sight so startling, she snapped thepicture at left. “I have lived here fouryears and never seen it orange likethat before,” she said. “God wastalking to me that morning. I had justspent a year preparing to become aCatholic and the sight was amazing.”The cross might have been catchingthe rising sun, but Sanders said it wasa cloudy, dreary morning. “Easter is atime when we focus on the cross, so tosee it shine like that just tops off theseason,” Emmanuel Lutheran pastorDavid Krepel said. Meanwhile,Catherine Sanders, the daughter ofLori Johnson and Jason Sanders, andhundreds of other children joinedthe Easter Bunny (Kingfisher MiddleSchool eighth grader Rowdy Meeker)for the annual Kingfisher Chamberof Commerce Easter Egg Hunt onSaturday (right photo).

His teams reached at leastthe area tournament everyyear except this past season.

Also in Class B, Okarche isreeling in the loss column, butstill hanging in at No. 10 withits 8-6 mark.

The Warriors have lost fourstraight since beating Cashion

early last week.They were dealt three

straight losses at the Lookeba-Sickles tournament and then a3-1 defeat Monday at the handsof Cashion.

Speaking of Cashion, theWildcats come in at No. 9 inthis week’s Class A poll.

They were drummed 21-8by Okarche early last week,but exacted a bit of revenge onMonday.

The Wildcats had twogames rained out last Satur-day and are currently 13-4.

Crescent is ranked 15th thisweek in Class 2A with its 9-4

record.The Tigers suffered a two-

game losing streak as of earlylast week, but came back laterin the week to win two of three,including Monday’s 7-3 vic-tory over Wellston.

“It was a good day overall,”coach Doug Jech said. “The boysobviously played well and thegirls, although they didn’t ex-perience a lot of wins, got somegood work in and continued toimprove.”

Both boys’ doubles teamsmoved to 2-0 on the season al-though the No. 1 duo of GrantBorelli and Cameron Hubbardhad to work for it.

The pair dropped their firstset to Fairchild and Grube, 6-3,but came back to win the finaltwo sets 6-0 and 10-6 to claimthe match.

Grant Newton and Jake Blairhad a comparatively easier timewith a 6-4, 6-2 victory overRobinson and Owens.

Eric Ogilvie moved to 2-1 inNo. 1 singles with a 6-2, 6-1 winagainst Jacobi Cooper.

The girls won just sevengames in their four losses.

“They’re still young and in-experienced,” Jech noted. “Butthey’re working hard to im-prove and to get into tennisshape.”

Tori Thompson dropped a6-1, 6-0 decision to Kaylie Shrop-shire in No. 1 singles. KatieWinnicki was knocked off bythe same score by MadiWorthern in No. 2 singles.

The No. 1 doubles squad ofAbby Schmid and ThenilaManokaran had the most suc-cess, but were still beaten 6-2, 6-1.

Aly Massey and RenaltaDelatorre were beaten 6-0, 6-2.

Kingfisher’s boys’ golf teamput together a couple of top-five finishes last week and sawan early opportunity this weekwashed away due to rain.

The Yellowjackets placedfifth last Thursday at thePerkins-Tryon Invitational andthird on Friday at the PioneerInvitational in Enid.

At Perkins, the Maxwell for-mat was used, meaning the teamplays together for the entire 18holes as opposed to the tradi-tional format of players fromdifferent squads playing theround together.

The Jackets shot a 335, whichwas 32 strokes behind cham-

pion Metro Christian.Brady Liles led the way with

an 82 while Hunter Bonhamcame in with an 86. Tyler Woodsfired a 92 and Austin Eaton andBlake Cameron had 93’s.

Individually, ReganHenderson shot a 101 and ChrisJohnson a 104 for KHS.

“It was fun to be able to watchthem play as a group,” coachChris Combs said. “We hit theball well, but had a combined17 three-putts and a low per-centage on up-and-down op-portunities. Those really hurtour overall score.”

The Pioneer tournamenttook place at Meadowlake Golf

Course as Kingfisher shot a 364,44 shots behind first-placeLaverne.

Liles was seventh individu-ally as he shot an 85.

Woods shot a 91, Cameronand Bonham both had 94’s,Eaton shot a 97, Henderson a 99and Johnson a 106.

“Overall we hit the ball well,again, but lost tons of shots from50 yards and in,” Combs said.

Kingfisher was slated to playat Clinton on Monday, but itwas postponed until April 17due to rain.

The team is scheduled to playat Crimson Creek Golf Coursein El Reno on Thursday.

give the new hire time to pre-pare for the summer program.

As for Patterson, this was adecision a couple years in themaking.

“This is something I’vebeen dealing with for a coupleof years,” he said, “certainlynot something that came upovernight.”

Patterson said the drive andfire that it requires to coachisn’t the same as it was in hisyounger years.

“I’ve always said that if mypassion and heart and desirewere not where they oncewere, then it was time becausethe only people who wouldbe cheated are the kids,” he

said. “It was getting to thepoint where that’s exactlywhere I was, so I knew it wastime.”

Patterson came to KHSfrom Stroud prior to the 2001-02 school year.

“You always wonder ifyou’re doing the right thing,making the right move,”Patterson said. “There’s noquestion I did when I camehere.

“We had great teams, greatkids and it’s been a great placeto work,” he continued. “Moreimportantly, it’s a tremendousplace to have a family andraise your children and it’sbeen 12 years of being ex-

tremely blessed and fortunateto be here.”

Of course, Patterson isn’tgoing anywhere. He’ll keephis administrative duties inthe athletic department andcoach girls’ golf, a programwith which he’s won threestate championships.

“Mr. Sternberger has madeit very easy for me from thestandpoint he’s allowed me tostay as AD and help do otherthings,” Patterson said. “I’mvery gracious that they’re al-lowing me to continue hereand the timing is right thatthis will allow them to hiresomeone who will do a greatjob.”
