Did Trickle Down Work? (unemployment rate, wage, ethics, Reagan)

[totsuka]

The "trickle down" phrase was dreamed up by the press. Supply side economics worked. I guess we could call Obama's economic policy "trickle up" and it did not work for FDR and is not working for Obama.

Trickle down did not work. Trickle up worked perfectly.

It has been proven over and over that there was NO surplus under Clinton.

So why don't you go work for a poor man. Oh, wait, that doesn't work because poor men don't have businesses that hire.

You aren't making sense.

Tinkering by the federal government, instead of letting market forces work.

I personally don't have a problem with government's stepping in when needed. You can not leave a company to its own devices. People are greedy and short sited. you allow them to do whatever they want they will enron the living enron out of all of us.

I have yet to see a poor man looking for people to work for him.....

Just saying...
