Maybe you could do some research to refute me


What are my research options?

So? The ceiling on income is not capped and will keep rising. The floor is always zero.

As I said earlier, more have moved from middle income to high than from middle to low.

Poor people don’t give jobs to others. Of course trickle down works when the wealthy hire others.


Its not that simple that anymore. In the past, wealth consolidated from running successful businesses that required human workers. The market booming the past few years is because people are betting that technology will remove the need for most human labor.

The impact of AI on hiring is perhaps most visible among younger workers. Job listings for the kind of entry-level corporate roles traditionally available to recent college graduates have declined 15% over the past year, according to Handshake, a career platform geared toward Gen Z employees. Over the past two years, there has been a 400% increase in employers using "AI" in job descriptions, the firm found.


Going luddite isn't the way, but at a minimum those companies should be forced to hire Americans, not H1Bs, and to manufacture any physical goods in the US.

Are you, really? If you are middle class in America, you have a better standard of living than every human being that has lived up until a couple centuries ago. Perhaps up until about 150 years ago. What you lack is perspective, or gratitude.

The same can be said for this thread. How dare you question Saint Ronald Reagan.


You have to be a troll or an idiot, guessing the latter. You chimed in here about a President 40 years ago that I doubt you know anything about. However, you support political idiots based on your MSM brainwashing. And I can bet you voted for Kamala. That being said, you are a freaking dumbass.

You politically align with an ideology who think men can have ovaries. Nothing you say has any value.

I think he thinks we're supposed to be unhappy. As in, don't we know that we're poor and don't we know who to blame for it?

I’ve always thought of trickle down economics as being trying to create an environment where corporations doing really well and the rich is investing and foreign investment is good and it’s easier to be rewarded for doing well at work and the market is good and vibes are good.

I don’t hate the idea of that.

That might be a very kind interpretation, though.

Average net worth has increased consistently since the 80s so how do you come up with this determination?

sorry my quota of trying to talk sense into dipshits is one per night.

Try again tomorrow and maybe I'll try to help you see how stupid your response was.
