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.

Unresponsive.Â* Why am I not surprised?Â* 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****.


You have boxed yourself in (again).

This thread was a discussion of the potential benefits to the economy
of tax cuts to corporations, including small businesses.

*You*Â* introduced the "trickle down economics" theme, denouncing it
as having never worked.

Wayne asked a very pertinent question of 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?"

Instead of answering his question you immediately jumped to the
progressive liberal mantra.

How about giving an honest answer to his question?

Tax cuts to companies with the idea they will expand the economy *is*
trickle-down economics.


So, does that mean your answer to Wayne's question is that you prefer an
increase in government programs and hand outs?

Did I say that? No, I did not. You boys think tax cuts for the rich are
the only way to grow the economy, eh? Wow...talk about entitled
dependency. Sheesh.
