Reply #18: The rich and the Conservative would have you believe wealth is a mountain when it's a toilet [View All]

They like the idea of trickle down, because it it makes gravity seem to do all the work of of their BS theory that pouring money on the top of the mountain will cause it to flow down to the poor at the bottom. Ine reality. the rich are at the bottom of the toilet and money flows naturally to them.

In order to get money, most people have to work. It takes effort to pump money up from the depths of the toilet. Interest income requires no labor, it flows effortlessly to those who have money to loan.

If the government wants to stimulate the economy, the most bang for the buck is heaping money on the porrest, as it will be spent, thereby increasing demand, providing jobs such that people have more money, increasing demand, lather, rinse, repeate. Handing money to the rich just makes it disappear into the tax evading sewer of the world economy.

Trickle down, supply side economics is pure bullshit, a PR spin to try to make it look like there are reasons to give tax cuts to the rich. Tax cuts on the high end do nothing but line the pockets of the people in power and stimulate economies of countries that still manufacture things.
