Trickle down is not a joke. What we shouldn't have is one party constantly either sabotages or completely reverses the good effort. That party is the Democrat party.
Recessions always happen when Republicans are in power.
Too many on these forums can't answer it, so they just run from the question. Taxes for the past couple decades have been historically some of the lowest in history
Not really ...
Quote:
"American’s lowest-income families receive $5.28 worth of government spending (federal, state, and local) for every $1 they pay in total taxes. Middle-income families receive $1.48 in total spending per tax dollar, while America’s highest-income families receive $0.25 cents in spending for every dollar of taxes paid.
As a group, the bottom 60 percent of American families receive more back in total government spending than they pay in total taxes.
Government tax and spending policies combine to redistribute more than $2 trillion from the top 40 percent of families to the bottom 60 percent.
The total amount of redistribution has increased slightly over the past 12 years. Middle-income and working lower-income families were the biggest beneficiaries.
The top 1 percent of families also lost more of their income to redistribution over the past twelve years. In 2000, redistribution reduced their incomes by 37 percent. But by 2012, that share had increased to nearly 41 percent."
Look at the employment / population ratio during the two Bush recessions. We didn't even recover from the first recession when we got hit with the second. Lou Dobbs a conservative commentator described this as the "War on the Middle Class".
Can you really ignore the obvious?
Indeed but the middle class has done even worse under Obama. The wealth gap is at an all time high.
Um, we now have a recovering economy, and yet welfare numbers are increasing..
You better try another excuse for failure...
It's called globalization and technology. You're living in the past with regards to how you view America. Obama or not, profits and productivity have been increasing while benefits have decreased and wages stagnate. The wealth hasnt trickled down in awhile despite making it easier on the producers.... Conservative economic dogma.
if you first think taxes are the lowest in history your a fool, and second, we dont have trickle down.. never have..
Sure we did, it goes by supply side as well. Republicans certainly were pushing that type of economics during the 2012 election cycle. Remember when the debt and deficit were topics?
Republicans always use trickle down economics. That's why they want to cut taxes on the wealthy and corporations, yet barely to never talk about cutting taxes for low income people. That is the very nature of trickle down economics.
