Microsoft is an example of how trickle down does work.

Libertarians don’t tend to support Trump’s tariffs.

To answer the original question the tax cuts helped offset the harm the tariffs have done to my 401K. Trickledown has benefited me.

I'm a conservative with libertarian leanings.

I support equal tariffs.

It would be best if they were equal at 0%, but equal is the most important part.

Ah. Pedro's anti-trickle-down view had me fooled.

Interesting. That's not a good example at all. You might want to look up Microsoft... or at least understand trickle down before posting about it.

Trickle down is when success benefits layers of people.

Trickle down works.
I'm all for trickle down economics, but it's clear by your Microsoft example, and, then again, by this post above, that you're just as ignorant as liberals when it comes to the topic.

Seriously, you think Microsoft is a good example? Or are you just a closeted liberal? Because something doesn't add up here.

This. Only a liberal view like that of PedroMartinez would suggest a period when corporate tax rates were at highest levels are good (the 70s, when Microsoft passed wealth to early employees). That is the opposite of trickle-down in play.

Inflation is government induced. Where's Volcker when you need him?

Fixations on Russia and identity politics made it much more difficult to talk about issues like this one.

You are speaking to one person. One person is not a group. This is always such a cowardly reply.
