Trickle Down is a Joke

Why trickle down economics is pure crap

The Reagan era theory of trickle down economics is pure crap and has never worked that I know of.

The theory is that if you give more money to leaders of corporations and other wealthy people that they will use it to create jobs and grow the economy.  Sounds like a good theory, but, sorry folks, it just does not work.

Here in its simplest terms is why it does not work.  Let’s say you have 2 dogs of varying sizes.  You only have one big dog biscuit to be shared by the two dogs.  You have two different options you can do with the bone.  Option one is to break the bone in half and give each dog a piece of the bone.  Option two is to give the bone to the biggest dog and expect him to share it with the smaller dog.  

Do you think the big dog will share the bone?  I don’t think so.  Option two is trickle down economics.  The rich are not going to share the bones of society because they want it all.

What does work.

What does work in the economy to make it grow is people buying more goods and services.  As people buy more stuff the manufacturers make more stuff to meet the demand and along the way may need to hire more workers to do so.  However, what has happened is the Republican Party keeps giving more and more of the money to the rich bone hawgers and less and less to the people who buy stuff, create demand, and create jobs.

Real Stupidity

Now another part of this whole thing is that the greedy bone hawgers are so stupid they are screwing themselves.  By not allowing the buyers wages to go up the buyers are unable to buy the junk that the bone hawgers bring in from China.  This then results in lower sales and lower income to the bone hawgers.  

If the bone hawgers knew anything they would want the buyers income to go up so they could buy more of the bone hawgers junk, which would increase sales and make the bone hawgers even richer.  However, instead of trying to increase sales the bone hawgers are going after every penny the poor buyers have by grabbing their benefits and social security and anything and everything they can.  They are beating down on the buyers so they have nothing left to spend on the bone hawgers junk.

Summary:

That is why trickle down economics will not work, never has worked, and never will work.
