9. What studies is he talking about?

Studies done by economists throughout the World prove that "trickle-down" DOES NOT WORK. After Reagan implemented his tax cuts the economy went bust, George Bush senior was not able to fix it, not because he didn't have the time, its because republicans are really bad for the country's economy.

There are more studies done that disprove the republican rhetoric that trickle-down works than those that try to prove that is does work, and most of the ones that try to prove that it works are ideologues like Thomas Sowell.

There is a good book out there that was written by a French economist that proves trickle-down doesn't work that made republicans go nuts...it was written a few years ago, if someone knows the name of the author and/or name of the book, please post it.

Anyway, I wish they would ask him "What studies are you talking about, can you please provide reference for us to read them?"
