Are you nuts? Trickle down is what keeps NYC going.
Look at the % of total NYC taxes paid by the to 1% or earners. Also look at how many jobs they create, both in the companies they run, and personally, with the money they spend (and in a lot of cases donate) in the city.
Class warfare is bot a losers game, and a game for losers.
If trickle down economics work why are working people still applying for food stamps, looking for public housing, and receiving Medicaid. Can you please explain this to me? Have you ever been to Brooklyn lately even gentry areas. Most of jobs that NYC has created are not middle class or even decent working class jobs, most of these jobs are low skill, low wage pay jobs. Hell even Transplants are making low wage money, thankfully those transplant ladies are loaded up with birth control hormones disallowing them from falling into more single mother Dom poverty unlike their native NYC woman counterpart.

I have a four year degree.

But dude, plenty of major economics have already stated that trickle down economics does not work. Ok you have more rich and wealthy in one area, does mean you get more money, but look at this, food prices go up, rents go up, transportation costs go up, health care goes up, city taxes go up. One that works in a trickledown economic job might be a bigger loser than some people on welfare. But so many economics have said it, trickledown economics does not work, and from my perspective I have not seen it work in NYC, trickledown economics work against plenty of residents.

There are lots of Indian Americans that work there. Should they count?
The pics I saw a couple of years ago didn't show any, but yes, this is very good to know.
