OK, now we get some suggestions

Personally, I think a large part of trickle down economics is bullshit. Giving affluent people more money doesnt often make life better for those with less money, just those who got the benefits in the first place. It has a small part in a larger economic plan, but alone, or even as a major part? No go.

And as for socialism, a bit of it is a good thing. Don't necessarily think a bit of helping fellow man is a bad thing. I by no means support total redistribution of wealth, thats also a load of junk. But I do think that those with means have a bit of a moral obligation to do what they can to help those that arent so fortunate.

The world isnt so cut and dry as you like to present it. As someone who likes to tout his economics, you should know that
