I find it funny though, that many wealthy who own major companies in the USA and claim to be "Republican" also staff the majority of their labor workforce with immigrant workers or at least employees who are on some kind of financial assistance and this in turn keeps wages down for the rich. Why pay Bill a $22/hr living wage when Suzie who is on disability will work at $8/hr? And she has her own health insurance so that's another cost the company doesn't have to worry about.
And is it your belief that dems don't do the same?
Some of you act as if NO dems own or run businesses!
Even this post is a misrepresentation of what is meant by trickle-down economics. It's not "The Rich". It's businesses. What the Dems often call "the Rich" are businesses. And businesses don't hire when they have to pay taxes.
All people need to do is look at the way wages for lower income people, which rose sharply after Trump's policies started to have an impact. Lower income wages rose much faster than high income wages. That sure seems like profits trickled down
Sure they do, and the hypocrites will do all the can to avoid paying taxes
It is assumed that businesses, regardless of politics, will take the path of least resistance and self-interest. That is why loopholes must be systemically locked down for all.

Wow, the amount of sheer ignorance in one paragraph!!! Well done!!!
Virtually all rich people are democrats including Trump, who voted for democrats until 2015.
What’s wrong with staffing your company with immigrant workers?
Which employee doesn’t need some kind of financial assistance? That’s just about everyone.
So, how is Susie going to get a job? Don’t you know the best weapon for the employees is the ability to charge less for their labor?

Dems aren't the ones crying about all the immigrant workers. Even NAFTA, although signed by Bill Clinton, was the brain child of George Bush Sr. Reagan was the one to sign amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Nixon signed the EPA act and also started the negotiations with other countries to outsource American manufacturing. And make no mistake, I loathe the democrats.
Remember when it took only one paycheck to keep a household going? That's long gone because wages are stagnant while the cost of living never stops.
One can argue that wages are stagnant because starting in the 1970s the work force almost doubled with women entering it and eventually entering fields where they'd never been represented.

So? Live a life your wage can support or start your own business.
I am glad that you conveniently ignore every ignorant point you said.
