Thoughts on trickle down economics

However, I don't think we should expect CEO to invest money into our economy when they can find lucrative alternatives.

well the problem is that there has to be enough money circulating for the masses to buy the goods that are demanded or else, the CEO won't be CEO for very long

"Trickle down economics" is really a question if individuals or government are better at deciding how to spend these resources

There is no such thing as trickle down economics. It's just an example of left wing imbeciles manipulating reality through language distortion.

yeah even more tax/spend redistribution plans are still "trickle down"

it's just trickling down from government in that paradigm

The Deranged and Demented Mind of a Liberal

I think people expect trickle down economics to mean that wealth will be distributed from the top to the bottom. This will never happen. What will happen is it will (in my opinion) increase the ability to circulate more money in a given area/community/country.

Rich are going to invest to get richer, not to distribute. But the investment will allow the money to touch more individuals hands. So I believe in it in that aspect. Allow them to operate with less unnecessary Jen deranged, and individuals will have the opportunity to earn money. Take the money from them in the firm of heavy tax and regulation, and I divide also will have to rely on "handouts" from that tax since a company has less money to hire.

Only one of those options seems "fair" to me. I'm all for those who CAN'T help themselves. But we rely on taxing those who have to help those who don't. But the big issue is we have too many in need that have put themselves in that position (neglected education, poor decisions, poor work ethic).

Watch this

Trickle-down economics is basically market economics. It's encouraging money to be circulated through private hands through tax cuts and deregulation, thereby trusting that people through the normal process of supply and demand will know how to distribute that money better than government.

The alternative is placing that money in the hands of government and having them distribute it, or using regulatory agencies to force money in private hands to go in certain directions.

The assumption behind the second option is that a relatively few smart people in Washington can out-think the market and make more economically-rational decisions than people in the market who make millions upon millions of small decisions every day that shifts money in one direction or another. I'm betting on the latter.

Also, as far as this is concerned...

What do you think they're putting money into, sock drawers? They invest in stocks and bonds which is money that often goes to businesses which then invest that money in the private sector.

It's a made up liberal term, no need to discuss.

"Tricke down" is a catch phrase used to take the poor results of using government funds to invest in private businesses, a la direct subsidies and targeted tax breaks, to turn people against policies which reduce the overall tax burden on all of us like reductions in income tax rates, repeal of estate taxes, consolidating tax brackets, ect.

Simplifying the tax code with lower rates and fewer deductions helps the economy and the nation's fiscal security if the effective tax rate was previously above the laffer curve. If it was below, it will help the economy, but result in a reduction of tax revenue.

In my opinion, the easier, more automatic, and more transparent the paying of taxes is, the less fraud one will see. The lower taxes are, the less likely people are going to try to avoid them. The FAIR Tax is the perfect system because it is simple, efficient, easy to pay, easy to collect, and doesn't "feel" as crippling as seeing 1/3 of your paycheck disappear every month.

Its a bs scam by the exploiting class to justify their greed. The rich taking care of the rich.
