    Bush carried that on from Reagan, and not only did we get trickle down, we got a shower....a shower of sh!te!!!

    Trickle down economics should really be called carrot on stick economics, and as long as idiots keep voting for the Republicans, that carrot will always remain just out of reach for most of us!!!

    Trickle Down Tyranny. A book by Michael Savage. He was right.

    Worked just fine for about 20 years.

    But then the game changed thanks to too much cheap imported labor and propaganda about "jobs Americans won't do". Nonsense, Americans will do any job but it has to pay .....something.....

    Check out where things went weird:

    http://www.trtam.com/who-really-stole-the-american...

    During the crash of 2007/8, just as the old guard Bush was leaving a mess and the new guard Obama kicked in the afterburners and made more of a mess way faster, corporate America realized they had to trim the fat. So they eliminated 20% of the unnecessary jobs and those jobs are never coming back because having dropped the deadwood they became much more profitable.

    Trickle down was thinking America is an island. Doesn't work in a world economy.

    Today I call my phone company and one day I get India, next day Philippines and then Georgia.

    Reagan had a great Vision and it worked wonderfully for 20 years; the ever expanding economy. but the rats have been undermining the foundations and sold us (U.S.) down the river so now We The People of these United States have to compete for the lowest wages on the planet. While President Obama is trying to kill the coal industry and refuses to build the most high tech oil pipeline ever.

    Reagan said we can lift ourselves by our own bootstraps and he was right. Obama says "Yea, try doing that while I urinate on you" and that doesn't work so well unless one is an illegal alien who refuses to speak or vote in English.

    Bob Dylan nailed it:

    Welcome to the new world order.

    What has really changed since the 1930: it's the banksters who urinate upon us and own everything.

    Come the Revolution, they'll be the first ones up against the wall.

    But on a lighter note, as predicted, The Revolution (which is ongoing now) is not being televised. all across America people are becoming more self-reliant, getting out of debt, getting over the "better living through credit" brainwashing:

    (turn it up, great song and 120 pics of the Revolution now ongoing)

    You people have no idea of the concept: it is not like "rain" you idiot but money from economic events that benefit the whole directly and indirectly. YOU ARE SEEING IT WHEN YOU BUY GAS! More money in my pocket and not my tank means I can SPEND MORE which benefits OTHERS who SPEND MORE... get it cupcake or do you need a SOURCE besides REALITY? But then your next post will be how GREAT Obama is doing making those stocks RISE! Gee ain't he grand!

    Well....... we waited for 30+ years now. Reagan lied his way into the White House in 1980 bringing with him this unimaginably stupid "Trickle Down" swindle.

    And now it threatens the very existence of our Republic.

    Why to republicans hate America? They hate our Freedoms.

    There's stuff trickling down, but it's not what Conservatives like Reagan said would.

  • 6 years ago

    In the 1980's it only took a few months. Right now, we're not doing trickle down economics. The government is squeezing everyone as tight as they can and stealing every penny that squirts out.

    Trickle down only works when you allow the people who earn the money through their own personal hard work to buy what they want with that money. See, if that evil rich guy buys an expensive car, someone has to sell it to him and make money, someone has to build it and make money, someone has to ship it to the dealer and make money, someone has to service the car and make money, someone sells him fancy extras for his car and makes money. See, lots of people have jobs because evil rich guy wants a nice car.

    When the government takes that money from the evil rich guy, they keep aobut 90% of it, and give the rest to some able-bodied slacker who chooses to sit on their butt and collect. See, no one except the slacker and politician benefits under this plan.

    It will only trickle down if you get off your *** and work for it. This is the problem most liberals have. They think that trickle down means, "just wait for it" like you do with welfare.
