    Of course. Trickle down hasn’t “worked” in the fifty years we’ve been doing it, but it “works” in that it’s an upwards redistribution of wealth – which rich people love. So it’ll continue and even get worse despite “not working”.

    They’ve long since given up on it making any sense for broader fiscal conservativism, and any pretense of it actually trickling down to the poor. As a country, we’re now running mask off evil policy and becoming increasingly brazen and proud of it.

      Horse and sparrow economics is at least 100 years old or older. And just as long disproven. It didn’t work in the 19th century, the 20th century, and will continue not to function the way they repeatedly claim in the 21st century.
