That's not 1.1 million, enjoy your trickle.

Then you must be very corrupt and good at rigging the rules, per your own logic, of anyone who is successful in America.

So you are just trolling, and understand that politicians can't legislate anyone up the social ladder.

Got it.

Your bosses are rich, and without rich people you would've never had a career. Case closed.

I’m not trolling. Nor am I saying to legislate anyone up the social ladder. I’m saying trickle down economics is a scam. But it’s aptly named. The rich get drenched, you get a trickle.

Trickle down works perfectly. Politicians can't legislate you up the social ladder.

You offered society a trickle, and you get a trickle.

I know what it means because it got me out of poverty. You don't know what it means despite it doing the same for you.

I’m 55. I retired at 53.

Ok thanks for confirming you don’t know what it means. I could tell by a few of your sentences. It’s kind one of these bumper sticker slogans most Americans have since forgotten or never knew what they meant but still get so passionate defending !

Apparently, it's you that doesn't know what it means.

Trickle down is not a guarantee that wealth and prosperity will fall into your lap.

Because it's not money that trickles down.

It's opportunity.

The Left thinks trickle down doesn't work because it's doesn't make lazy people rich.

Even if that did happen, most people would squander all of their money in a matter of years and go right back to square one.

You can’t change human nature.
