  Trickle-down economics is far older than Trump’s presidency.

    People forget that basically everything about Trump’s campaign was copied directly from Reagan. Right down to the MAGA slogan

    I think they mean that he pushed it blatantly enough that it’s plain to see it’s bs to all but the most obstinate.

  I think they would refer to it as ‘Horse-and-Sparrow theorem’. Garbage all around. You can pick your sustenance from deez nuts.

  Nice argument, Emperor Hong. Why don’t you back it up with a source?

  I think this is in a time when the nobles’ job is to rule the regions assigned to them? They were like the king’s workers

  I see “Emperor Hong” and my mind goes to a clip of the South African government.

  The one where a guy withdraws a statement and soon after proceeds to go hong hong hong multiple times throughout someone else trying to speak to insult that person.

  Can’t find the original clip, but there are other clips. Just search south Africa hong hong hong.

  Trickle down economics would only work if you gave them a tax cut, and then forced them to spend whatever money they saved. And then they’d have to ensure that the money is being spent in ways that benefit the working class, like supporting a small business or union shop. But they never take it that extra step, so it will always fail. it’s only ever been a handout to the wealthy, designed to inspire loyalty and garner future favors.
