Right Wingers, I'm looking at you on this one. Justify this.









Good luck.

Why should "right wingers" justify this? The actions of the last 6 years has all been "trickle down". What do you think the QE programs have all been about?

Don't blame the "right wing" for the failures of this administration. They would have failed as miserably but the facts are, this administration did fail here.

The entire "trickle down" meme is a lie.

The theory has never existed outside liberal/progressive politician straw men arguments who invented it simply to discredit it.

Greatest myth/lie of politics in the last 100 years imho.

and before the "but David Stockman, Reagan's budget director, said 'trickle down' in an interview" rebuttal, Dr. Sowell was kind enough to crush that as well - trickle down ignorance

We now return you to your straw man fallacy circle jerk.....

Because they've been pushing supply-side, trickle-down economics since the Reagan administration.

When did copy and pasting graphs become accepted as an adequate reason to start a thread?

This is no strawman. I want these graphs justified.

The right-wing has a blind adoration of the ultra-rich. I'm asking for a reasonable explanation.

"Trickle Down Economics" is a slang way of saying "Supply-side economics."
