Really??? One nation and a 52 year old experiment has proven time and again that trickle down economics does not work unless the goal is to make wealth more concentrated and the gap bigger and bigger. If that is your end game, and, by the way, it has been for the GOP and the Kennedy's who started the whole slide, then trickle down economics works like a fricking champ. If, however, your goal is to stimulate a consumer driven economy then measures that concentrate wealth and income in fewer and fewer hands ain't the best of ideas.
We have just about borrowed all we can as residents of the middle class, we now have to have two incomes to get ends to even be close enough to holler at one another, forget about tying them together, and we simply don't have the income to buy the shite that the top 20% produces and sales. Yet here we are, more than 50 years since Kennedy suggested rising tides would raise all ships, and we are still so unbelievably naive that we still repeat what the 1% tells us is in our best interest because we are terrified to acknowledge the fact that our "betters" (financially speaking) don't know anything more about money than a fricking street thug who will rob the pennies off his dead mamma's eyes.
