What will happen when money starts to slow down as more and more get trapped in saving and stocks. Not from the bottom of the population, but from the top and corporations.

The Top just gets more in their pockets which will not increase their own spending. As seen when Cohen was in that group of CEO's who said they would not hire more, they will buy back stock and do more M&A. Jobs lost for the middle as the higher paying jobs become consolidated.
Of course trickle down works. You had a job in those 61 years of life, didn't you? If so, your assertion is that trickle down worked for you when you were in need of a job but it works for no one else in this day and time. I believe even you can figure out how stupid that sounds.

Why? It sounds like he's clueless about taxes and economics.

I am tired of repeating it, but the S-Corp mandate will force them to take 70% of income as salary, which is subject to 15% payroll tax. This is a massive tax hike for those who were taking the usual 30-40% of income as salary.
