If the top companies and richest individuals can't stimulate the economy

[shraby]

by the trickle down method now, what makes them think it will work if they have more?

1. Heres the thing, at least my idea.

I think they know that shit doesn’t work. Their constituents on the other hand are fucking clueless. As long as their donors are taking care of they feel like they’ve done their job.

6. And yes you just won the prize

for the true answer.

We are Capitalistic Economy driven by Consumer Spending. Which in turn creates Jobs. Rich people do not create a job. You and I create any new Jobs necessary to satisfy our next shinny object we purchase.

Cut off disposable income,and bang,jobs disappear and the Economy goes into the tank. Pappy Bush got his come uppens as a result of his supply side crap.

2. They know it won't work, they don't care. They want more money for themselves to horde. nt

3. That is the lie the tell the brainless who vote for them because they still believe that bullshit.

4. Its all about Rs keeping their big donors happy, nothing more.

The 1% get a massive tax cut, and corporations get that and more regulations lifted. They put a collective torch to the asses of the Republican Senate and Congress because they want a (big) return on their continuing investments in Republican candidates and initiatives.

Most of these monies will NOT factor into the economy. Billionaires and corporations suck up everything, and then bottom-line further by cutting payroll and benefits.

This sad act is carried out EVERY time the Republicans get control— and it absolutely FAILS the general population every time. But the fat cats? They are purring like contented motherfuckers. “The rising tide floats all boats” is one of the biggest LIES going.

Citizens United has really destroyed America...witness the current shitstorm. And with a conservative majority in the SCOTUS for the foreseeable future, there will be no repeal.
