[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 3203515, member: 22662"] Come now floridays. I gave you a link showing how trickle down (or whatever you want to call it) historically doesn't pay for itself and leads to ever increasing debt. Now it's your turn. Show us it works. Not a quote from Kennedy or a Reagan bubble. And you can blame whomever you want but we've been in deficit spending for decades with historically low taxes. In short, it can't work precisely because we don't live in a socialist society. The government does not "control the means of production". So the government can create an environment where companies are flush with money, make record profits and...oh. They already do that. The problem is that they don't reinvest or increase wages or any of the things we're supposed to think they will do and we don't force them to. We simply allow them to get richer and richer.
