Speaking Of Food Banks
A opinion writer in Australia notices that We’re being sold the trickle-down economics con.
You remember “trickle down” where they told you that “a rising tide tide raises all boats”, ignoring the reality that it only helps people rich enough to own a boat and the poor people drown. The awe inspiring Revelation of the Cocktail Napkin of Laffer™ – as tax rates approach zero, tax revenues approach infinity. Back in the 1980 this was government policy and delivered none of benefits claimed.
Conservatives keep trying the same policies, and those policies keep providing the same results. When are people going to realize that conservatives want the results they get: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
