Other then pennies Wages haven't gone up for anyone other then the golden few since Reagan's Trickle down lie 36 year ago. This during the largest increase of wealth in this country during the last 36 years. Obama's record will never be beat , the highest corporate profits in history, the highest rate of growth of profits in history and the highest percentage of gross that was profit in history, during his presidency and a stock market that took off the day they got rid of Bush gaining 178%. With these Massive increases in profit, other then those pennies I talked about earlier, it all went to the golden few at the top, exactly as Reagan and the right planned. That's not the real problem as massive as it is , during those 36 years everyone except the golden few lost ground with a massive increase in debt for both the poor and middle class , thanks to the trickle down lie. You can't argue these points because this is supported by all studies. Now with their new tax law look for this transfer of wealth to the top moving at a faster pace.

The big banks should have failed.

When the government scoops up all the money other people produced and then makes you dance for a little bit of it back isn't that "trickle down economics" too?

How much cash have the Clintons (penniless until they got into "gubmint") trickled down to you (they have about 500 million thanks to government taxes).

Yes, as everyone knows, new jobs and growth come from the Tooth Fairy. Those rich people just fill a vault with money and sit on it, like Scrooge McDuck:

For those who life off of interest, that is essentially how it works. They live off of our labor.
 
Since the recession, 85% of all economic growth went to the top 1% Top 1% of Earners Take Home Majority of Income Growth | Money

This during the Bush tax cuts where the corporate tax rate was low (and even lower now). And everybody else stayed the same or got worse during that time. That is not a sustainable economy. ANd it certainly shows that giving them tax cuts does not trickle down. There really is no bother, if they are going to continue to ignore it over 4 decades of declining middle class, increase poverty, insanely large wealth disparities, when there are record profits and high stock market (but all going to the 1%), no amount of facts will matter.

THey have swallowed the lie and continue to swallow it. Until they actually turn on real news that shows them facts, they are beyond hopeless. People jsut need to vote to outnumber them.

How much of that was due to bailing out the banks?

If they see something as a good investment opportunity, they'll invest. If they see it as a bad investment opportunity, they won't. Available funds is a small part of that decision. Giving them more money does not mean they will invest more and create those jobs and growth.

Throwing more money at the rich doesn't improve the economic situation of anyone but the rich.

The trickle down folks seem to live in a a fairy tale land where the wealthy are heroes and feel an obligation to the less wealthy, rather than being self serving capitalists.

"With that new tax break I can build a factory in the US and create some jobs for those poor souls without work. That factory in Mexico I was going to build, the one that would make me more money and carries less risk, just seems immoral now. I always put morality and the well being of the less fortunate before further increasing my own personal wealth."

That failure was due to lack of regulation but since then it has gotten worse. and they promise to really deregulate financials in the future. Credit default swaps was the main reason that the housing failed and they didn't make it illegal and they should have ,or at least regulated them enough so someone was standing over them all day long , they have to be watched that closely. In a general sense without regulations big b would eat out children.

Well for every response that has some meaning you get this crap, The sins of helping people in need or something stupid about the Clinton's. You want to follow the chain of event look in how much Carlyle and Halliburton profited during a war that was 100% lie and they new it. They murdered 5000 American heroes' , so now can you recognize how ridiculous it is to respond with some non aligned comment to the thread. Keep your nonsense.
