The problem is you perception. Trickle down will work but it is long term. Liberals would rather solve the short term and fuck over the entire nation in the long run.
Remember when some dem. decided a tax on airplanes and yachts was a good idea? Remember how all those rich people forking over money to the economy through the airplanes and yachts stopped because of the tax? Remember how all those malual labor people got fucked over becasue the bottom droped out of the market do to that tax?
Yea THAT sounds like a good idea.....

But the point, krwlz, is that they won't spend it on goods or services, but on things like t bills and stocks and so forth. Helps you and me not all that much, even in the long run. Helps the government, helps big businesses, not you or I. Trickle down doesn't fucking work, my friend, no matter how much you think it does. Economists admit it doesn't work. It's voodoo. Liberals would rather feed people today than hope that the money trickles down before they starve. Yeah, there can be negative consequences to decisions. The difference between conservatives and liberals is conservatives want things the way they are, and liberals want them to change. It's easy to point out the negative aspects of change when you're pushing for no changes at all.
