Oddly, for at least a decade now I've heard conservative talking heads say we need to implement trickle down economics to fix the current system.....That's the thing I don't get. We've had 30 years of Reaganomics and after 30 years it has been nothing but an absolute failure. We tried it, it failed, let's go back to what was working. I don't know why the American people are so beholding to feeding the wealthy top 1% as much wealth as possible in the hopes that maybe some of it will trickle down. Also here's what I don't get...
The name itself is indicative of it's failure to work. "TRICKLE DOWN". Not cascade, not waterfall, not avalanche. "Trickle down". Jeez and to think this policy has been in effect for over 30 years.
To paraphrase alot of people into one statement...
