Best retort to RR praisers:Trickledown failed
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 04:55 AM by oscar111
24 years of trickledown, and now wages are lower than when it started.

So dont let Bush tell you that throwing money at the rich will jumpstart the economy. It will leave you poor. Just as it seems it would.

What trickledown gave us was Kozlowski's $2 million party with vodka flowing from an opening in a sculpture, the $1,000 omlet at NYC's Parker Meridian Hotel, { on w. 57th street }, and $250/MWhr. electricity during the CA blackouts.

1. RR praisers are crazy -- the best response to them

would be to do what RR did to the mentally ill -- put them out on the street.

2. yep. we've been conned big time.
waiting for people to catch on to this unpleasant notion.

If we weren't conned then why is it that the myth of trickle-down is persisting in spite of the numbers showing that the opposite of trickle-down is taking place?
