Brain Droppings: The GOP and Trickle-down Economics



For the life of me, I'll never understand how working people can support the GOP. Republicans are constantly hawking the theory of Trickle Down Economics, often synonymous with Reaganomics (so named for the god-figure among the GOP, Ronald Reagan, who used that theory as the cornerstone of his economic policy). They claim that if they support BIG BUSINESS, jobs will be created and EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY. In addition to the fact that many experts dismiss this type of economics as "ineffective" (my quotes), there is one, really large, obvious, caveat in the plan: BIG BUSINESS gets to control the cash flow. And where does most of that case flow? Into the pockets of the people who run those BIG BUSINESSES and the POLITICIANS who support them, that's where! Working stiffs like us are left with the surplus - if there's any left after they get their cut. SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

It's actually pretty simple, people. All you need do is open your eyes and see through their screen of BS. The GOP is NO FRIEND OF THE WORKING MAN.
