this not only ignores the fact that governmental policy, by its very nature, is purely reactionary, but it also creates this false equivalency between governmental intrusion into markets and how free markets operate. when you talk about capitalism and communism with real fans of communism (note: not found on this board), you see this false dichotomy. they have no idea how capitalism actually works and thinks it's this "top down" system, because their economic worldview is that very system. the ultimate irony is that real socialism/communism is a complete "trickle down" system, as the government owns everything and decides who gets what, what needs to be produced, and where all of these things occur.

Well said. Indeed nothing is more "trickle down" than "let's take the 'rich' people's stuff and give it to ourselves". It's naked greed as well.

Ultimately they don't understand the difference between supply constraints and excess demand constraints. BamaATL demonstrated that in the other thread like a champ.
