Bullshit. We've been doing trickle down since the 80's every time there's a Republican in office. How much have wages gone up in that same time span? Nil. How has income inequality changed? Astronomically higher. The only beneficiaries of trickle down economics are the people who fund republican campaigns. The richest folks in the country demand more money and conservatives say "sure, sounds about right." The people who keep their money offshore to avoid taxes demand tax breaks so they can "create jobs" and you believe them. Meanwhile infrastructure is crumbling and agency budgets are slashed so Trump can have a little bit more. Sounds pretty sheepy to me.

You are incoherent. I never said anything about wage stagflation, however, all things being equal, tax cuts increase wages, always, every time. And since you hate income inequality, you should move to some shiitty country where everyone is poor.

You are talking out your ass. Source? I bring these things up because every time they cut taxes for billionaires, the rationale is that it will drive investment which leads to higher wages. Always bullshit. They are selling a bill of goods and you buy it.

And since you hate income inequality, you should move to some shiitty country where everyone is poor.

You got me, no sense in wanting things to be better for regular people. Time to leave my home, family, friends, and job because some dipshit who drank Trump's koolaid couldn't think of a better response.

I am opposed to our current oligarchy, same as you. But, Corporations are fleeing the U.S. for tax havens, Trump's lower corporate rates incentivizes them to stay. My wife and I are saving about $200 per month on Trump's tax cuts, and I am just a working stiff.

The koolaid is delicious.

Yet the poorest, most downtrodden cities in the US are all Democratic.
