fair or not fair is largely irrelevant. what is relevant is that this is an excellent illustration of how trickle down is not working efficiently, however.
lol....yes, according to YOUR definition of trickle down, I suppose it wouldn't be working.
What do you think trickle down means? Does it mean that I go out and work my tail off, and simply share my profits with people like you?
Your comment is absurd, you are implying that MY PROFITS are yours by virtue, and that you shouldn't be required to "DO" anything at all, and that I should be "trickling" my money down to people who have had no input into making that money.
Let me set the record straight, the money I EARN, is not yours or anyone else's by virtue. Meaning, that money belongs to me, because I've earned it. You have no rightful claim over MY PROFITS simply because you need them. I do not exist and work for YOUR sake, nor the sake of anyone else. I work to make money, and I pay those who help me acquire money. Those are called "salaries". I pay a "fair wage" for work done. That doesn't mean that the profits belong to anyone else. They belong to me. I earned them. And because I earned them, they allow me to pay the salaries of those who work for me. THAT is trickle down. If it weren't for me, and other business owners who make profits, no one would have a job. That's trickle down.
Trickle down has nothing to do with MY personal wealth. It has everything to do with supplying jobs for people like you. Remember, the company you work for makes a lot more money than you do. But they are providing you with a paying job, which pays for your house, your food, your clothing, your kid's college education, you health insurance, your leisure activities, your vacations......YOUR LIFESTYLE.
Hmmmmm, wanna know what that's called????? TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS!!!!!
