It’s a disaster for everyone except for those whose money never trickles down.

No such thing as trickle down economics. The only ones who use that are the ones who've been wrong about the economy.

There you go. Let's change history. The term was invented by Paul Volcker to explain Reaganomics. If you look at this another way, you're right. Money made by the rich never finds it's way down stream.

Pretty fantastic. I am managing a pretty healthy middle-class lifestyle, with a house, a retirement plan, and occasional trips to Europe, South America, or back east in America.

Under Trump, my company has restored a yearly bonus that they whittled at during the Obama years. Pretty sure that is because there are 1.7 million unfilled jobs out there now, and they have to be competitive. And because of the cut in the corporate tax rate. When actual investors are allowed to keep more of their own money, they actually invest. And America benefits.

Good luck to you in finding a good life for yourself. It is not easy, and it took me a long time, but the government will not do it for you. You have to work at it and make good choices. Hope all goes well.

Trump restored your bonus that Obama made your company attenuate, huh?

Yeah, that’s believable. SMH

George H W Bush had it right: Voodoo Economics.

It came from a joke Will Rogers made about feeding a horse and the birds eating what comes out the other end.

What you describe is the opposite of what normally happens. When a business saves money because of less taxes, we the people see it right away. During good times the business will use that "extra money" to expand and increase product. During down times it's used to save jobs as the cost of retraining is high. Research and Development stays as that is usually the first department cut.

How about you quit listening to the economists that continue to get things wrong. Listen to the ones who get it right.
