From the article: Trickle-Down Economics: Four Reasons Why It Just Doesn't Work

Quote:
Let's look one by one at comparisons of key economic indicators to the top tax rate.

1. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to economic growth.


2. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to income growth.


3. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to wage growth.


4. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to job creation.

Your charts are useless. And the top tax rate is a useless number. You have to look at the taxes people actually paid.
