Cluelessness.

EVERY single person not owning their own business is the BENEFICIARY of TRICKLE DOWN economics.

If you don't own your own business you have been trickled down upon.

If you are a GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE you have been trickled down upon by REAL wealth generating businesses that pay taxes. The government DOES NOT generate ANY wealth - they simply PRINT currency.

If everyone becomes a ward of the state EVERYONE is penniless.

Let that sink in a bit.

Saying "trickle down doesn't work" is more of the outright insanity leftists embrace. All EMPLOYEES are earning thanks to the efforts of the "RICH" business owners and stockholders that hire others, invest their money and pay taxes. If my company pays 10 salaries of over 150k per year, another 50 salaries of 75k per year and yet another 150 earning 40k - all those folks are the recipient of trickle down economics. If my business gets taxed at a higher rate because of my "success" and I need to lay off seventeen employees, and their wages to pay that tax - they have been screwed by the "well meaning" leftists who think they can "soak the rich." I will not be poorer - but 17 folks will be out of work thanks to people like YOU.

Just because there is massive poverty in the world doesn't mean trickle down isn't working. Poverty will ALWAYS exist. Redistribution of wealth by the government and attempting to shackle the wealth generators only creates MORE poverty.

Some people here need something else trickling down upon them - a stream of clues after an apparent life of embracing leftist economic cluelessness.
