Trickle-down. What the rich claim will improve life for the lower income groups but of course it is bull****. === Question for you:Â* 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. That temporary luxury tax was not something that would fit into a discussion of trickle-down economics. It was something entirely different. The question is, would Trump's proposed massive cuts in tax rates and reductions in deductibles create massive employment growth, as he claims. Voodoo economics, as it is also called, does not work that way. Funny.Â* Yesterday you were complaining that Trump's tax plan was void of details.Â* Today you are spelling them all out. There are no details...just topic sentences, just as with his health care nonsense. It's not up to Trump (or any POTUS for that matter) to define every detail of proposed legislation.Â* That job resides in Congress following debate of the pros and cons.Â* The POTUS establishes the general goal. Uh-huh. Glad you agree. |
