As a moose understands it trickle down economics is thus: when the rich have all the wealth in the world they will just magically create jobs for those who don't have jobs out of the niceness of their hearts. The problem with this is of course that in order to acquire all the wealth in the world they had to kill, murder, rape, evict and torture billions of people. This of course is evil, vile, ugly and repulsive so this theory does not work in fact its not even a theory.
Take the theory of evolution which for the following purposes we will consider as a theory, nothing more despite what you think. In forming the theory of evolution Darwin had facts and research and evidence. Since this theory was published it has been backed up with more research and evidence that has allowed a great deal of people in the world to find some truth in it and regard it as science and factual. That is a theory.
When we look at the theory of trickle down economics all the facts say that it is false, it does not work. It has never worked, there has never been a time in our nations history where it did not lead to economic stagnation and/or a recession.
This is different again than ones belief in god. A belief in god is unique because there is no evidence for it but there is no evidence against it, it s a faith based idea and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem with tickle down economics is there is no evidence for it but an innumerable amount of evidence against it which make it not fact, not theory but simply stupid lies to allow the greedy people to have more. They never create jobs, only demand creates jobs.
Now let us look at one more example that will fully reveal the true nature and greed of Americans so we can do away with this nice myth. If you give a toddler a piece of chocolate he or she will eat it, if you give a toddler another piece of chocolate he will eat it and so on and so on until America is the fattest nation in the world. As individuals we tend not to share and be greedy bastards while half the world starves. But we formed a government for the people by the people.
Which leads me to a little side note: any time a government official says the government is not the solution its the problem, first get out of office then. Second: I used to be a person, and when I was I was the government. In a democracy the power is in the people and I sure as hell was not the problem, don't you ever blame me for what you messed up. Third: don't point your finger at me, come up with a solution.
Back to the formation of our government. Which over the course of our history decided should play a role in in sharing and making sure everyone had wealth. Which I think is a testament to America and the American way of life. If we as individuals are greedy, we can at least come together through a government that is us and share and help each other out. I think that is a good thing. Thats what you teach your children isn't it?
But this "sharing" word is always refereed to by another word in the mouths of conservatives and that is: socialism.
Moose thought:
Sharing=good. sharing=socialism. socialism=sharing/good.
Conservative thought:
trickle down=good/money. trickle down = poor people. poor people = good/trickle down/money.
Whih side are you on?
