Tis the basis for all GOP economic theory. Did the Great Tax Heist, highly touted to trickle down to the less fortunate amongst us, actually happen? The only thing that trickled down was the larger tax bill the rest of us will have to pay when the tax man cometh. We done been ’chumped" again.
This is exactly like the grand “experiment” now being carried out by the regressives who deny anthropogenic climate change. How many killer storms, floods, droughts, and the like will it take for the anti-science crowd to “call it a day” and try to ameliorate the looming disasters?
Or do we all simply drop out of the door onto the street like the toon shows?
Purdue Pharma goes splat on the ground below, leaving 50 states unable to recoup the cost of the human tragedies caused by the company’s lies about OxyContin. The Sackler family sails away with its profit-filled balloons. Yup, capitalism at its finest, all right!

If corporations start acting like governments, we’re in deep, deep doody. And, I do see examples of it here and there, though mostly the engineers and lower level folk seem to be reasonably attached to reality. So far.
