Ahh. Trickle-down. What the rich claim will improve life for the lower
income groups but of course it is bull****.

Question for you: Would you prefer the creation of more and better
jobs via an improved/expanded economy, or would you prefer an increase
in government hand outs?

Answer for you: Trickle-down economics, which is what is under
discussion, is a myth. It's not a job creator, per se, it's just another
way for the haves to increase the distance between themselves and the
have-nots. As Wikipedia notes, "Multiple studies have found a
correlation between trickle-down economics and reduced growth, and that
higher taxes on the wealthy are linked to economic growth." It is just
another way for the wealthy to **** on the poor.

Unresponsive. Why am I not surprised? My question was not about
"trickle down economics," which is a bit of a cliche.



It has been proven over and again that trickle-down economics, which is
an apt description for Trump's tax plan for corporations, does not work.
Creation of "more and better jobs" through an expanded economy is a good
thing, of course, but saying that trickle-down economics is going to
produce that is...bull****.


Where are the jobs coming from? Excessive Minimum wage, prices us out of
the low end manufacturing jobs. We have a large sector of the population
who has decided welfare, and dropping out of school is a nice lifestyle.
And those low end manufacturing jobs are all a lot of the population these
days is capable of doing. When you go to a fast food restaurant and the
American born kid can not make change, but the Mexican immigrant kid does
not have a problem. How are those illiterate people going to be able to
hold a decent job?
