This thread is nothing more then people debating in favor trickle down economics and others against. History has shown they don't freaking work. If they did I'd have no problem supporting them... but they don't. We tried them at least twice now and every time more of the middle class ends up in the ranks of poverty. The more people that sink in poverty the worse off we are as a nation. We keep doing this and we just end up with fewer and fewer people having the vast majority of the wealth and a mass amount of families unable to obtain a decent living wage.
Poverty numbers are soaring while taxes are a near record lows. The wars and all the spending done by the GOP while they were in charge hasn't been paid and none of them seem to have any interest in paying it. They want to wipe it out by cutting off poor people from receiving services. Great then we have even more people who can't afford health care, food or a decent education for their children. Not only that but they won't be paying much, if any, in taxes either. Seriously why is this even a debate? Are wealthy and greedy people so worried about losing a few % points of their income so much they're willing to let the US sink into becoming a third world nation? How American.
