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

Ok, your proof? So let me get this straight. Rich guy buys yacht. Yacht company hoards the profit. Workers struggle due to lack of earnings. Can't affotd a car. Can't pay the food bills. Suppliers take money and hoard it. Workers struggle to find jobs. Go on welfare. That's your fantasy. Capitalism is built on trickle down. Redistribute wealth has left our economy a wreck

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.

Stuck on stupid. The yacht industry is huge but you probably think community organizer is a real job.

Let me explain trickle up redistribution of wealth... Govt increases taxes for social services. Families lose $4000 annually of disposable income. Decides to cut back on dining out. Diner is losing money. Decides to cut staff. Staff can't pay bills. Goes on govt assistance. Govt raises taxes.

Just a fantasy to lovers of more government.
