More Trickle Down? Get Real Trump Supporters!

[Wry Catcher]

Open your ears and listen very carefully, not to my words but words uttered by President Trump, and the words not said.

The Dow rose to over 21,000 today, and who did that benefit? Only those who have parked their savings into equities; the result of his words increased the wealth of the investment class overnight, but not those who have been left behind and watched the greatest inequity since the Gilded Age of wealth grow.

Will Trickle Down improve your economic situation? Will it open up new and well paid jobs for the working poor, the middle class and those now in college or recent grads with massive debt?

Will the repeal of the PPACA (notice Trump called it "Obamacare" (for obvious political purpose) and not called it the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and in the process lied about the rise in cost when what came before rose annually too, and left too many behind.

Let's see if The Congress, so concerned with the massive debt, will pass a budget with the "largest military increase in history" cut taxes to business and spent one TRILLION Dollars on our nation's failing infrastructure.

IMO putting a Trillion Dollars into rebuilding, renewing and repairing our nation's infrastructure make sense, but not when taxes are cut and an increase in the military spending also cuts domestic spending (consider what domestic spending will be cut when a trillion is put into fixing our infrastructure? Whose taxes will be cut, what fees will be increased and added, and whose money will be used for all of this?)

More human sacrifice and societal wealth extraction and redistribution. Same trajectory over the past half century. Surely it will work this time.

Where were you 10 trillion dollars ago?

What we need is a business friendly government. All business, not just the mega corporations that can purchase favorable legislation. Small business has been the backbone of America all along and we've been steadily moving away from it as more and more regulations come into play that only large corporations can handle. The buy up smaller concerns or just stomp them out of business. Then we get stuck with fewer options and fewer jobs.

First off dumbass, Trickle Down Economics is a Liberal Term for Cronie Capitalism that Obama was using make the RICH much RICHER and the most in poverty ever.

Now what you really need to know is "Supply Side Economics" , where if you see a need, you fill that need. The more people want an item the cheaper it gets.. What!!! How does this happen....

When an item is created, if someone wants it, they are willing to pay a certain amount for it. If not, then the price of that item will go down. If more people want it the price will go up.
If there isn't enough of the item to go around, then other companies see their opportunity to make a like item and then sell it for less than the original, and then those people who were waiting will come in and buy up those other items. The more the want the more the need to make more. Soon there are plenty of companies to make the competition and prices will go down or the quality goes up. Your side doesn't understand this principle because they don't teach you this in school anymore. You could buy a TV from a US made company a long time ago, and pay 1000's of dollars for it, today with many TV companies competing for you money, you can get a TV for $100.

Supply Side Economics..........Cuba...........Cronie Capitalism/Communism.......Cuba..

I guess you weren't too worried about DEBT when Obama increased it by 10 trillion dollars?
I guess you don't have any money in the stock market so that is why you are bitching how you aren't benefitting from it?
The unaffordablecare act that was created by the fucking liberals, they knew it was going to fail, yet all you morons( I apologize to morons as you are much smarter than a liberal) are bitching now that the Republicans are trying to fix it, well, I say, Republicans let it fail, and it will fail badly(liberalism always fails) and march Nancy Loser Pelosi out with all those Democrats who proudly FORCED that bullshit on US, and let the people do what they feel is right to the traitors of the country.

Ah yes, there are plenty of stupid people in the US, around 47%(that Romney identified) and they will continue to vote for the same people who make them suffer. And they deserve to suffer, because elections have consequences, and Obama fucked you all for 8 years. That is how stupid you libs are....

P #1: Calling for war bonds and a rise in taxes to pay for our war of choice in Iraq.

P #2: I will never, and have never shopped at WalMart; small retail is overwhelmed by local fees, taxes and permits. What is your solution to local regulations which impact small business?

We did have a business friendly government with Reagan, George HW and George W and the middle class's share of the national income still dropped. That means, someone else benefited, now who would that be?

Why are there working poor, poor? Is it that the liberals keep lowering the standards of living for the poor so they can continue to be enslaved to the liberals who give them free stuff?
Is it because they go to failing schools, because when you keep people uneducated they are obedient workers who are passively dumb enough to accept their lot in life?
I used to be a working poor, but woke the fuck up, got skills, took those skills overseas and made a fortune in doing it. The difference between Conservatives and Liberals, is that a Conservative wont be a victims but work through their tough times to success. A liberal will blame others for their tough times, sit back and whine, then demand free stuff.

Of course not. But it was not the panacea you seem to think and Trump wants you to believe. Do you not see how it aids the investment class and Wall Street, but has little or no positive impact on Main Street and families whose wages do not allow for investing?

Calling for Health Savings Accounts as Trump did last night would put more economic stress on Middle Class workers and the working poor would end up in the ER.

I really wonder why such obvious outcomes are so difficult for the conservative set to comprehend.

And in their pensions, and in their managers 401k's. Everyone has a slice of the investment class, even if its included in a financial vehicle like a mutual fund.

 

[Fueri]

Trickle down does work, or at least works better, on businesses operating in the actual US, that keep their money here.

With companies divested in the US and moved overseas, not so much.

So, and this is an absolute first, I find myself agreeing with the OP, almost.

Raising taxes doesn't stimulate the economy either in terms of businesses creating jobs as a result of that market force, but it would seem that lowering them doesn't either for many businesses, at least unless that has the impact of changing the math so much that it makes operating in the US favorable to operating offshore.

new rules, new playing field and same old methods. we need something new in the toolbox to deal with the new set of circumstances.

Median income has been flatling for a long time. Correlation is not evidence of causation. If the problem is good jobs leaving how would unions make it better? A union for a business long gone puts no money in anyone's pocket. Increasing business will be good for all.

One more half-truth ^^^ with a bit of irony tossed in; pension funds did great, so did 401k's but there is no guarantee we are not experiencing a bubble, is there?

The irony is the claim that Union Members have income which allows them to invest in financial instruments, when it is the goal of Corporate America and the Republican Party to create Right to Work laws and make every state and open shop is in operation now, to repeal the PPACA and make health care savings accounts for workers who can't afford to save for their retirement.

Get real, this is voodoo economics on steroids. If all of what Trump said comes to fruition, our debt will grow and the spread of wealth inequality will increase.
