In what way has it failed? Trickle down economics is just the layman term for supply side economics. Supply side economics is responsible for the unbelievable advancements of the west in the past century or so. So what’s your alternative? That socialist stuff they tried out east simultaneously to the rise of large scale capitalism in the west? When you decry the failures of the economic system in which you exist you ought to bear in mind that you have a better standard of living today than European royalty enjoyed 150 years ago, and learn to be grateful for that fact.

It would work if they didn't abuse nepotistic powers and keep all that wealth amongst themselves, instead of reinvesting it in the economy like they were supposed to; instead opting to consolidate their wealth to previously-laughable highs.

Moral relativism is for faggots. What about the wealth and prosperity which has been stolen from us, and redistributed in tyrannical ways? We could be a space-faring species, no longer burdened by poverty or mother nature, herself— no longer bound to this muddy grave; but power-hungry despots ruin it for everyone. They create systems of power that strengthen only few, at the expense of everyone else— whipped-up by laziness and fear. Spurred by hatred instigated by angry shadow puppets.

Humanity has had plenty of governmental systems which have worked, almost miraculously well, in the past. We deny ourselves these societal structures because of learned helplessness; or maybe simply rampant stupidity. Who knows.

The failure of Reaganomics does not mean socialism works.

Because there is (obviously?) no such thing as "trickle down" economics. Wealth trickles UP which is why any sane nation wants mechanisms to put the brakes on excessive over-exploitation of the masses for personal gain. That should be called "economic terrorism" and that's the system where the muritards live, that they love so much, never understanding that it's about to blow up in their faces and leave them cratered.

Wealth doesn’t trickle any direction, wealth is created. Don’t talk about economics, you just embarrass yourself.
