If Trickle Down Economics doesn't work, then how do you explain the love for Stimulus?

[Mac-7]

How you don’t blame corporations for raising prices in lieu of taking less profits during decades of record breaking profits is just pathetic.

I’m reminded of the clinton wealth tax in the 90’s that almost drove America luxury boat builders and corporate jet manufacturers out of business due to consumer resistance to higher prices

Sad story but not what we are talking about

Its the same thing

You want corporations to be your tax collector for bloated government programs

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Trickle down economics is the idea that as profit increases so do wages of those employed.

It's quite a bit more complicated than that, but none of it works if you have 25 million illegal Mexican slaves shitting bean burrito dook all over the job market.

Supply side economics gives you nothing but what is called in the industry, Dead Wood..... A backlog in supply of widgets without any demand for them.... Nothing ties up a buyer merchandiser, more than dead wood....worse situation you can be in.... It ties up money for future purchases, because the purchases made on the widget supply are not selling, there is no ROI- RETURN ON INVESTMENT.....you can't buy new inventory because your stuck with your dead wood supply.... So in order to get the cash for new inventory, you have to keep marking down your old supply of goods, until it hits a low enough price...that sells it...often lower than even the cost of the goods to purchase the supply.

Which industry?

A backlog in supply of widgets without any demand for them....

A corporation that does that will lose money and potentially go under.
The survivors will do better.

Lower prices for customers? Sounds terrible! LOL!

repubs interpretation as "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's unless you are a corporation, millionaire or billionaire. Then you pay little or nothing to Caesar."

Corporations add taxes to the price of the goods and services they sell to the public

When you tax corporations to really taxing the little people

There passing all their costs on thru the price of the product. So what’s the point?

Huh? When did I say anything about bloated government programs. You’re getting way off track and putting words in my mouth. We were talking about taxation, product pricing and profits.

The public reacts differently to taxes than it does to unavoidable costs of supplying a product

Libs know that if the slap a sales tax on the backend of an item the public rebels and may vote them out of office

But bury the tax within the product and the public does not know they are being charged extra to feed lazy government employees

That’s just bullshit. What is the state sales tax in republic Texas? Republic pols like the sales as it’s regressive.

What about overpaid CEOs and their effect on the cost of their products?

How are they overpaid?

Native Texans tolerate the sales tax.

But try raising it or imposing an income tax and see fast lib carpetbaggers get booted back to california

If commie leftists understood economics, they wouldn't be commie leftists.

i think they are overpaid compared to ceo's in foreign companies

And they are often paid in the wrong way

Giving them stock in the company encourages reckless short term gambling with the company's long term growth and has contributed to the offshoring of jobs to china

But ceo pay has minimal impact on the final cost of the product

You simply can't grasp how big the revenue of the mega corps is

I beg to differ slightly

Thats like saying if the Nazi collaborators in WWII knew how evil the nazi's were they would not have collaborated

But I think the Quislings were no different from the nazi's and every bit as bad

I suspect libs do know something about economics and simply don't care what the longterm consequences of their policies are for this country

Keynesian economics fellas. We were a backwater country until we changed it.

nonsense

American production of goods and services made America the envy of the world and nothing else

Exactly!

That's why the Great Depression ended right after FDR took office.....wait, what?

That's why Obama had the weakest recovery since WWII....no, that can't be it......DURR

The left loves stimulus, so long as it's driven by dementia instead of the orange man.

But the left hates trickle down. In their minds the more you take from employers the more likely employees are to get a raise. Let's call it what it is instead, they desire govt. entitlements, because that's the only other direction, and that starves a country under socialism. But the PROGS talk anyway, they do that a lot. In PROG, the less money you make the better car you drive, debt & bad decisions are personal too.

Trickle down economics is just a term. For those who think rationally it's really up & down, an exchange of money ongoing. If that shit don't work, then explain why economic stimulus is different, go!

Excellent point.

Of course these stupid Moon Bats don't understand that a rich man giving you money for work you perform for him is better than the filthy ass government stealing money from those that earned it and then giving it away to welfare queens.

Trickle down Economics is the best Economics!
