Well, I'm not moved by trickle down claptrap or nonsense about a death tax. So I guess we can both roll our eyes and move on with life.

Trickle down claptrap? Brainwashed. Here's an example... rich guy buys yacht. yacht company hires employees. Yacht company purchases from suppliers. suppliers hire employees. employees buy vehicles to get to work. Employees buy food for their family. grocery stores and auto makers make money. grocery stores and automakers hire employees.ditto

Nice fantasy, but it's been proven it doesn't work.

Yeah. I know sooooo many people feeding their kids with the yacht industry.

It doesn't trickle down. It has never trickled down. Pay a fair wage for fair work. Rich people do not "create jobs". They satisfy the demand by hiring wealth creators they fuck over and exploit under the delusion that having capital is more valuable than actually making things.

You show me the numbers. Show me where trickle down has helped working people.
