Why Do People Trust Trickle Down Economics?

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

How do u control whether the wealth actually gets to other populations? What stops wealthy from just taking the tax breaks and still shytting on the economy or just investing overseas for cheaper overhead costs? How do u account for corruption?
Why did we fall for this?

No one trusts trickle down economics except for the rich. It's crazy that the only legislation the trump administration has passed was tax cuts for the rich. I'm not sure why his followers don't realize how fukked put hat is.

Because people don't really understand Capitalism.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

The main people who seem to really buy into it the most are members of the producer class, so basically any small business and property owners, and the occasional entrepreneur

because for them, they're closer to that reality than the average breh

But seriously just basic logic doesn’t add up.

How do proponents justify it?

So the rich give people pipe dreams and get away with economic rape?

Because some people keep buying the "dream" that they'll be rich one day so they don't want to legislate against their future imaginary self and end up keep fukking their current situation. A whole bunch of Joe the Plumbers

rich people:

Correct. That’s literally the only conclusion. I really need somebody to break down the “logic” behind it.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

It’s just hope. Poor people hope rich people will trickle down money to them.

Sounds 10x as stupid when you type it out

Correct. That’s literally the only conclusion. I really need somebody to break down the “logic” behind it.

This should seem obvious right? But there are people who write books passionately advocating for this shyt. I’m no economist but shyt just never seemed like a bright idea.
I’m fascinated by how the promise of power can get people to do shyt that is the exact OPPOSITE of their own interests.
