Rewrite the history to fit your agenda. You might want to add that that 1995 tax return showed a 885 million tax write off good for the next 20 years. That meant effectively that Trump paid no federal taxes from 1995 until 2015. trumps response was, "It makes me smart". My response is "It makes me sick."
Pathetic whiney winners.
Anybody who pays more taxes than they're legally required to are stupid....and it wasn't the winner who was whining.
No. Trickle down starts one level above, at the top percenters needing tax breaks so that they would be free to spend that new money and kick start the economy. The businesses benefit from this spending, which in turn benefits the rest of society. But the start is the wealthy having more disposable income to spend.
During the downturn, I remember private jet and yacht companies laying people off because rich folks were tightening up their spending. People forget that blue collar folks are the ones making things people rich people are buying. How many people to poor people employ?

Yeah right. "so the answer to our economic problems is to give rich people more money so maybe they'll spend it on things middle class people make?
How many 50 million dollar yachts do you think there's a market for, anyway.

Give trickle-down tax cuts to the rich and you support one yacht company, that's servicing 10 clients a year and employs 10 people making $40k.
Give middle-class tax cuts and you support dozens of auto dealerships, employing hundreds of people earning $40k.

Depends on how many rich folks there are.
You can buy a yacht for less than $200K btw.
Its not the 100% answer to economic problems, but its not a problem in running government either.
I'd much rather a billionaire run a public office over a crackhead.
At least you have to step up your game to get a billionaire in your pocket, while a crackhead can be paid off for $5.

Actually things like planes and boats have fairly large crews of people that either tend to them on a daily basis, or are required for regularly scheduled maintenance and repairs. They are far from "once and done" purchases as you are trying to paint them.
Today I learned that non-millionaires are losers and failures.
You mean, this election year didn't teach you that already?
