    I don’t know what Hollingsworth Hound is so peeved about. After all, isn’t this exact how the trickle-down tax breaks were sold and are suppose to work, i.e.: “everyone benefits”?

    I can’t say I’d be perfectly happy if Ruben Bolling made Tom the Dancing Bug “All Lucky Ducky All The Time”, but I also can’t say I’d mind terribly.

    This is another “big lie”. Give rich people more and it will trickle down (note the use of the toilet and it’s cleaner in the strip) to the rest of us. Truth is, when you give rich people more money they keep it. Whereas a poor person will spend it, since they don’t already have everything they could ever imagine wanting, thereby putting more money into the economy and stimulating growth for all. Vote with your brains, not your emotions!

    Supply-side policies are the laws written by the guys who write the campaign-fund checks.

    There is only one reason the billionaires want everyone to return to the office. They don’t make their money. You do.

    Trickle down has never worked, as far as raising the standard of living, anywhere that it has been tried. And, it is completely illogical to believe that it ever could. If you are paying a guy to cut your lawn and he’s doing an adequate job, then you get a tax cut, do you raise his pay? Neither will the 1%ers. The only reason to spend more on hired help is that you need more workers to get the job done. The only way more workers will be needed is if there is an increased demand for product- in other words people are buying more stuff. The only reason people would be buying more stuff is that they can afford it. And, the only reason that more people can afford more is that they are the ones getting the tax cuts, not the rich guys. Trickle down just gives the rich guys more money to hide offshore, or more money to buy more politicians to write laws so they have more money to hide offshore. If you want that money to stay in America, increase production, and raise everyone’s standard of living, trickle UP will do the job, not trickle down.

    To quote George H W Bush, as he was running against Ronald Reagan in the 1980 Republican primary, “It’s voo-doo economics”.

    Yes, capitalism works! Did or did not Lucky Ducky earn a shiny new quarter for scrubbing out the port-a-john?

    Ah yes, “trickle-down” … aka the “crumbs from the table” economic theory.

    “At some point, they run out of stuff to spend the money on, so they’ll send it down the line”. Except to billionaires, more wealth isn’t about buying more stuff. It’s about keeping score.
