Auto company wants to build plant in either Ohio or Mississippi. Missisppi offers a good location and low taxes. Ohio offers a better location and lower taxes. Auto company builds plant in Ohio. (Ohio is Best LOL). Auto company makes lots of money, HIRES FIVE THOUSAND WORKERS who make good wages and benefits. They spend their money in local businesses. Their kids patronize local fast food places and other youth-oriented businesses, who have to hire more people, who spend their money locally, etc., etc., etc.
Is the picture clearing up for the OP?
Call this trickle-down, voodoo, whatever you want. Hate the owners of the auto company and the managers, who make more money than the workers. But don`t try to convince those workers that they'd be better off on welfare or in some government-sponsored make-work program. Or maybe fighting in one of Obama`s wars against some bad guys on behalf of some other bad guys.
And don't change the subject, which is JOBS. You know, the Democrat`s former mantra? Before they started bailing out banks and making billions for the military-industrial complex -- speaking of lies?
People still believe in trickle down economics is because it makes sense. It's such an obvious success on paper and looks pretty in charts. It's just as ideal as the bell curve. People grasp these concepts because of their simplicity.
But in reality, they aren't accurate and thus they're implementations will fail.
I'd suggest you add an option on the poll for "It just looks pretty on paper".
Just curious as to why do you think some people still believe in voodoo economics.
It is easily the most pathetic, ill-conceived, badly-conditioned, ill-bred, misguided, severely ineffective, wholly delusionary economic theory in the history of mankind.
It has consistently proven in practice to be an utter failure, yet Pubs cling to it while distorting the beneficial effects of far superior theories of the Dems. Reagan, failure. Clinton, success. Bush, failure. Obama, success. Obama's handling of the economy has managed to prevent this country from falling into the Bush Depression. In fact, we're not even in a recession any more and the economy is IMPROVING. Had Bush stayed in office, the unemployment rate might be as high as 30-40-50% as we struggle through a Depression or worse.
Serious issues those Pubs have and support for that stupid trickle down is a manifestation of this.
You do realize that the bolded areas are not the fault of the current president, right?

^^^ The REAL truth right here. Just go look up documents.
Where's the, "Because they actually believe if they work long and hard enough, they'll become one of the top 1% of income earners and don't want to "punish success" by limiting tax breaks, bailouts, and corporate welfare for those who have clearly demonstrated they don't need it."
If you're going to post a poll, at least post a VALID, open-ended one and not one slanted to your own personal, biased views.
