Just one more tax cut, bro. I promise one more tax cut and it will fix everything bro. Bro. It'll trickle down bro. You're not looking at the right numbers bro. Please. They already pay so much. Bro cmon just one more tax cut I promise bro.

I live in Pakistan and we have been going through a terrible economic turmoil. On top of indirect taxes, the salaries of average people are taxed like crazy. Meanwhile, the businesses refuse to even come under the tax net. While inflation and currency devaluation are going crazy, and the government has been begging IMF for a bailout, government departments did mental gymnastics to provide relaxation to 5,000 out of 10,000 big retailers tax relief with bullsh*t reasons like size of their brick and mortar shops. I'm so sick of all of this. Sorry for the trauma dump. I've been incredibly frustrated.

Let's be real: it's working exactly as intended.

Look at extremes like Musk. Of course he is generating jobs. But he also took 200 billion or so from everyone else for himself. That's not going to trickle down.

Not that it matters. The right-wing will continue to claim, in the face of all evidence, that it works, and their voters will choose to believe them, as always.

It worked, sort of, just not for you, me, or the 40,000,000 Americans (that we know of) who can't afford to miss a day of work.

40 years on the minimum wage has been seven bucks for 15 years and we're still voting for trickle-down economics every two years. Both parties have made this a core piece of their governing, and we reward them for it. That's success.

We just didn’t cut enough. Let’s try for 50 years with even more cuts

The best illustration of trickle down economics I've seen:

Me walking up to the banks like yo I've been told I'm supposed to collect my trickle of rich people money. This the place right?

Oh well, guess we have to just try it some more and see if the results improve. /s

What do you mean they just put it in offshore bank accounts instead of letting it trickle down?!

Are we sure we’ve given them enough?

Fucking Einstein over here writing articles now

Well, colour me surprised as fuck

I, for one, am shocked that giving sociopaths money didn't improve my life.

One type of person accumulates more and more money in their dragon hoard. The other type spends it. How regarded do you have to be to think this was going to redistribute shit?
