Trump will be selling old Republican idea: trickle-down job growth......

[Little Star]

Trump’s tax cut plan sounds a lot like what has been known since the days of Ronald Reagan as “trickle-down economics’’ — the idea that putting more money in the hands of those at the top will unleash a wave of economic growth and indirectly spur prosperity at all strata of society.

Yes it does, Ugh.

1. There is not a shred of evidence proving it works , not one, yet I can guarantee half

the country will still buy it.

Every single economic indicator proves that NO republican EVER helps the economy.

2. if we had a capital driven economy

that was starved of capital... there might be some merit to trickle down.

But we don't. We have a consumer-driven economy... and we need to give consumers more money to buy stuff.

3. I said it 20 years ago when my relatives were flapping their gums.

They will not create jobs with their tax cuts, they will put the money in their pockets. Demand creates jobs, not tax cuts.

4. "Trickle-down" is really Piss-On economics.

Because that's all the middle- and lower-class people get, is PISSED ON! It has NEVER worked as advertised, and probably never will!

5. Bingo.

Trump likes doing that anyway, I hear.

7. Tax cuts do not grown the economy or pay for themselves
