How is Bush's Trickle Down Economy getting to me?

Question

I understand the theory that giving incentives to Big Business should allow them to expand and hire more workers, thereby stimulating the economy. But Its obvious that trickle down means trickling to CEO salaries, pensions and stockholders. And afer it trickles to the managers and supervisors it will eventually get to me, Right?

Answer 1

Its not called Trickle down is called Trickle on!

Answer 2

It's just a trickle by the time it gets to you.

Answer 3

By the time it gets to middle class people (and it will be lower when it reaches the poor) most of the good stuff will be gone.  The rich take most of the benefits.  Bush's tax cuts mainly benefit the rich, even though they don't need the tax cuts (they're people with a lot of money and tax cuts to rich don't help out the economy).  It just makes a bigger deficit and the middle class and poor don't get as much help as they would have if there were no tax cuts to the rich (trickle down economy/philosophy of Bush just isn't productive).

Answer 4

Its called your Salary. Be glad you have one.

Entrepreneurs get the big money, common people like you get a job. That IS the trickle.

Do you have your savings/retirement invested in America in the form of stocks? Do something that will cause you to root for America, rather then whine about it.

Answer 5

Do you have a job? Thats the trickle. Because without the trickle you're on unemployment, you don't have your $100/month phone package, your $120/month cable package, your relatively new car, the house you can't really afford and your $4 cup of coffee twice a day.

I am confused by all of this whining. What trickle could there be other than your job? Its really quite simple.

Answer 6

probably not
