61, YES..
61, you DONT feed a tree from the TOP, you water and fertilize FROM THE BOTTOM.
The tree grows the leaves from the Nurture at the bottom, and opens it leafs, to the SUN..
TRICKLE down only works when the RICH give the money to the POOR, or those at the BOTTOM of the CORP, NOT THE MIDDLE.

Even if you say the Rain(money) still falls from the sky(rich people) to feed the tree..THE MONEY STILL HAS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM.

63,
Rich pay others to do there job.
If a company is doing well, NO. A rich person gets the profit. THE COMPANY pays the employee AND the rich person. And how many of these RICH people STARTED THAT COMPANY? it ISNT/WASNT/NEVER WILL BE THEIRS.

Read what Jefferson already knew on the subject. If you are 1st hearing it from me, your education is sorely lacking.

#68–Paddy Zero==so you’re saying the reality is that rich people don’t care about America and their citizenship and that money is their paramount concern?

Good to know. I have always suspected that was true but its good to get confirmation from the horses ass.

Welcome to Realityland telling someone to not say what reality is, won’t change it one bit.

Don’t tell me, you’re a liberal. Right?

#64, glad to see you rely on wikipedia to formulate your highly informed opinions about what is and isn’t viable in a particular economic system.

#64–SL==Say’s Law? You are right, there are a lot of discredited irrelevant old economic theories that I haven’t heard of. Goodness Bless the Interwebitudes. Wiki article says Say’s Law is only arguably valid in a barter economy.

You do know the USA is not a barter economy?

As the wiki and my common sense does not conger up ANY RELATIONSHIP between Say’s Law and Trickle Down Economics, maybe you’d provide that?

And connect it in such a way as to avoid the following generally accepted factoid: a Dollar of Tax relief to the rich provides 1.05 of economic activity whereas a Dollar of Unemployment provides 1.70 of economic activity?

I’d love to know why/how/when you came to believe “Say’s Law” was such a killer economic law. You should find out and let us know?

#62, just because you don’t understand Say’s Law is no reason to have a hissy fit.

Production is what employs people. Employed people earn money. People with money buy stuff. Increased demand for stuff means more people get employed.

Oh? They don’t employ people? The poop employ people? Do you read what you write?

#61–Loser== oh – - -my – - – god!!! Still touting trickle down as if it were not completely discredited?

My god, what color is the sky in your world??????????????

How deep is your stupid hole????????

Or do you just hate everyone and think you have it made?

You are worse than contempt for all rationality. I think he knows he is full of shit yet continues fecal vomiting because of lack of alternatives ((no real education)) but you take the cake.

#55, It’s not called “Trickle Down Economics” because the rich eat at McDs. The rich create jobs by starting and growing their businesses. Ever worked for a poor man?

#59, It’s called “Civil Disobedience.” Kinda like sit-ins that are clearly against the law or tree-huggers living in trees for a year.

And, yes, I do support it. If I thought I would get away with it without putting my people out of work, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Your little story about McDonalds and Wendy’s is typical right wing nut bullshit.

“Value for money. What is right wing about that?”

The problem is the tax cheats want the value without paying the money.

That’s theft.

Do all you guys really want to go on record defending tax cheats like this? Did you all convert from Reaganomics to Helmsley-nomics? (“Only the little people pay taxes.”)
