I'd go with trickle down anyday.
Why? It's been proven that it doesn't work... twice.

What happens when demand increases but supply stays the same?
Yep... you have the right to care and do lots of things to support them.. .it still does not make it the responsibility of you or government to take care of the responsibilities of others.... if you wish to freely donate to help a cause, including the cause of the unemployed, knock yourself out... and you'll receive nothing but praise from me... but when you force it upon others, nope, I will condemn support of any such action
Even if it's at the cost of the production and economy of the whole country??? Are you that blind? A prosperous, stable populace makes for a prosperous stable economy. If anything, it's trickle up, NOT trickle down - when people have extra money, they SPEND it, causing a ripple all the way to the top. We can now see that trickle down was a farce and a half... Every time it's been tried, it has failed, from Reagan to Bush part deux.
Tell me how this "trickle up" theory works.

And I am lost. You are a woman? And you make 50K in NYC?
IMPOSSIBLE!
capitalism is a trickle up process in the first place. for that reason, the expectation that cash will trickle down was silly and never panned out when it was applied.
it is simple: dillute wealth concentrates upwards through consumption of produce from those who own the means to make it.
capitalism. read a book.
What you're forgetting is that it doesn't work when people at the bottom have nothing to put into circulation in the first place... like right now.
What happens when demand increases but supply stays the same?
Why would supply stay the same? The people importing the wine can now afford to buy more wine and even enjoy a volume discount now. Profits and demand allow growth and expansion, not willy-nilly giving tax cuts to rich people.
So exactly how did it prove to NOT work?
As personal income averages go up, so do the prices of goods and services.
And I am lost. You are a woman? And you make 50K in NYC?

Actually, there are many here that make a heckuva lot more than I do. Are you being cute or an arse?

Bullshit. I have read a book or two and you have no idea what your talking about.
No it didn't.I'd go with trickle down anyday.

Really?
Reagan's plan created 20 million jobs.

Reagan's plan created 20 million jobs.
The last time I challenged a CON$ervative who posted that crap they included Reagan's 8 years, Bush I's 4 years and the first year of Clinton's first term, 13 years total, to get to 20 million jobs. Even using that "Fuzzy Math," Clinton created more jobs in his remaining 7 years than St Ronnie's "13" years.![]()
Grow up.
Do you not realize that if this were one or two people I am referring to, I could see your "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" righty mentality. This country is dying. The wealthy are getting wealthier and everyone else is getting poorer and poorer. What do you think is going to happen?
they would get jobs and deal with it.
there are no jobs!!!
So exactly how did it prove to NOT work?
Look around you. His unemployment rate hit 10.7% also, did it not? He started the massive deficit spending and promoted deregulation of industry and spent like a drunken sorority girl in Bloomies, did he not? His policies definitely set us on the road to ruin that we are limping down today. Even one of his own advisers admitted that it was the GOP policies from Reagan on down (Clinton is to blame too w/ NAFTA) that caused the economic collapse.
The wealthier are not inherently getting wealthier and the poorer are not inherently getting poorer.. but nice try
Are you insane or just so blindly partisan that you are no longer paying attention?
No it didn't.Why? It's been proven that it doesn't work... twice.

God, listening to righty talking points over and over and over again is like arguing with my cat's litterbox. Both are full of shit.
