How did Trickle Down Economics become a selling point for the Republican party? I guess it's slightly preferable to "YOU GET NOTHING!" Or "Let them eat cake."
It is probably about the most honest thing they've ever asserted. Even the most brazen of them didn't think the electorate would fall for, "If we don't tax the rich, they will pour that money down upon you like Niagara Falls."
It does trickle down and that's a problem. A trickle is a trickle. And what does trickle is more likely to trickle down to the car valets in Dubai. Then there's the rest of the reservoir being dammed up in overseas banks, where American home buyers and small business entrepreneurs can't borrow from it. Or sip from it, to maintain the damp metaphor.
It also isn't raining bucks down on our National Security, Public Health, and Infrastructure. The defense budget for 2020 was around 721 billion dollars, to which they contributed nada. So we're paying for them not to have their mansions requisitioned by Russian invaders for an interrogation HQ.
I'm not a professional psychologist so I won't delve into the mindset that integrates the proposition of a fickle trickle into an attractive political paradigm.
