Corporations will pollute because they can increase dividends. Everyday Americans will be poisoned ie WR Grace and working
taxpayers will foot their medical bills.
The only thing trickling down will be Mercury and sulfuric acid rain on our children so some fat cat can have a gold toilet.
What a win for the American People...not.

I just wish the fascist liberals would stop pushing the trickle-up poverty they keep pushing...why do liberals hate the middle-class....oh I know, because the liberal dream is two classes...the rich liberal elite masters, and the poor serfs who eat crumbs of welfare for votes

Quantitative Easing is a variation of Trickle Down Economics.

Every single Fed Pick big or small that Obama made was to a QE Trickle Down pusher.

QE didn't start until Obama won the 2008 election and met with Bernanke, Obama then quickly renewed Bernanke.

Obama owns QE Trickle Down economics and many people argue that it has been a disaster.

Trickle down theory is Liberal Fearmongering.

Rich people give middle class people jobs. Poor people are folks who Democrats exploit for their votes.

There's two types of poor people. One type is the fool who has a life full of regrets, bad choices and victimhood, sold to them by guess who? Yup, Democrats.

Another type of poor person is someone who is extremely hungry. He sees folks with money and he wants that money. So some are so driven, they become CEOs of companies.

Ben Carson had it right. Poor is a state of mind.

My dad has a saying... A fool and his money are soon parted.

He never had too much money, but he'd give you anything he had, the shirt off his back, a sawbuck, a Franklin, and he'd wished he could give you more.

Republicans are the generous ones. Democrats sit back and try to shame others into being generous. Looky here! That's why this thread was started.

It's better to give than to receive. But any person who can't rub two pennies together is a fool.

Don't be a fool.

The housing bubble was a raping of our housing market via the abuse... of deregulation, not deregulation in and of itself, wall street greed, investment banks, derivatives, and very crooked rating agencies, and the enabling of the Administrations of Reagan, Clinton, W., Obama...

Well, technically, things were set into motion during the Reagan administration. But as I said, deregulation was a good idea, until the liberals louse it up.

Despite the high European wages it is amazing they can build better yachts than any US builders despite no luxury tax anymore and the US has protection laws prohibiting operating a business from foreign built vessel.
None of the top 10 yacht builders are French.
Christensen Shipyards in Vancouver, WA is #3.

Trickle down is the life blood of a working economy. Allow people to make money and spend it as they wish and everyone benefits.
A good example was the roaring economy of the 1990's. Dot Com wealth created wealth for millions of people who did not know what a Dot Com was.

What's your point?

Wealth was created and millions enjoyed being employed as a result of that wealth. When wealth disappeared the economy suffered and people lost their jobs. Seems to me that the Dot Com episode is a case study in how trickle down works.
