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. The simplest example that this is bull**** would be the luxury tax. It was supposed to soak the rich and give the money to the masses. The reality was that the rich simply stopped buying those luxuries and the people who built them were laid off. The tax was short lived. Bush 41 started it, Bill Clinton got rid of it 2 years later. |
