I say this as a business student (in Canada) - today's business schools are failing the American people. 'Trickle down' has been roundly disproven and is not even taught anymore in my school. Why is it still taught in the US? Better yet, why are the people in charge of the economy still using 30 year old discarded theories to make economic decisions. Government always has a role to play in the economy. This idiots are making everyone poorer - including the deluded 1%.
