I was recently made aware of this and wondered what it was about. If I look at the "What others are saying", it's pretty much all right-wingers.
I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this before.
This is the link.
I am more curious to know if anyone has any background or knowledge of them.

Read their "About" and their report for 2024. They should answer most of your questions.

Somewhat makes sense

I live in a more poorer state, but work a full time job in a more richer state that borders me. I tend to like to get employment in the state the neighbors me because I found more opportunities. Getting paid more in a different state for the same work I would do in my own state.

for example.. Please! Personal life

Moore was married to Allison Moore until 2011.[69] In 2012, a Virginia court held Moore in contempt of court for failing to pay his ex-wife $300,000 in spousal support, child support and other obligations in his divorce settlement.[69] Moore did not respond to repeated court requests to make payments and failed to appear for a deposition before the court threatened to have him arrested and ordered him to sell his home to make the payments; the court revoked the order at Moore's request after he made a $217,000 payment.[82][33] In January 2018, the IRS obtained a tax lien against Moore for $75,328 in unpaid federal taxes, interest and penalties, alleging Moore had filed a "fraudulent" tax return in 2014. Moore contended that his accountant made an error in improperly deducting child support payments and that the lien was the result of an IRS miscalculation,[61] though Moore claims to have paid the lien and Montgomery County, Maryland Circuit Court records show the case is closed.[83] In addition to the child support payments, the IRS also disallowed other deductions Moore had claimed.[82]

And that's it. Plenty. Too much!

I can't believe you're seriously looking at anything written by Laffer at this point, since everything he's every written on the US economy has been completely discredited at this point. The "Laffer Curve" is now a joke.
