Prove to me that "trickle down" or "rising tide lifts all boats" are wrong?

[rightwinger]

How many times have we heard socialists bitch and moan about the filthy wealthy. The 1%ers! And how many times have we heard "trickle down" doesn't work or "rising tide lifts all boats" is wrong?

YET my simple question that even the most IGNORANT socialist, 1%er hater seemingly can't answer is this:

Do the filthy wealthy bury their wealth in the backyard or hide under their mattresses ?

Seriously folks what happens?
Those evil filthy wealthy 1%ers buy yachts. Yep they do ...who builds them?
They buy private jets. Who builds them?
They buy mansions. Who builds them. Who staffs them?

So ignorant people point out that "trickle down" doesn't work. Trump tax cuts were wrong. The little people aren't
getting the share and the filthy wealthy,
why they are ...."burying their wealth in the backyard or hiding under their mattresses"....???

Today's employment picture show more jobs than people to fill them!
Each of those NEW jobs creates TAX REVENUE to the federal government.
PROOF?
The economy added 3.2 million jobs since Trump took office:
Trump's Numbers (Second Quarterly Update) - FactCheck.org
Let's assume that each job pays Median household income in the U.S. rose to an estimated $59,055 in January 2018, an increase of nearly 0.4% from our December 2017 estimate of $58,829.Mar 1, 2018
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4152222-january-2018-median-household-income

So 3.2 million times $59,055 is at 12.4% payroll taxes $23.3 billion a year ... additional federal payroll revenue.

So what has happened to the $190 billion in gross income these 3.2 million job holders generated?
Did they bury in the backyard or hide under their mattresses?

Of course not...

So why then do ignorant people continue to use that phrase "trickle down" as a failure?
Look at the following chart and tell me how many of these 50 S&P companies are hiding their tax break

[Skull Pilot]

SO what?

It says nothing about me being required to give you people anything

We the People wanted to create a more perfect union
So we created a Government that is empowered to raise revenue and provide services for We the People

So, yes..........you are required to give

No I am required to submit to having my money taken from me and wasted on all kinds of shit

and FYI nothing can be made more perfect.

If it is perfect it cannot be made any better by definition

Afraid you are

Take it up with James Madison

I already said I was required to submit to having my money taken from me by the fucking government I do not give it it is taken

Sucks being you

And it sucks being you because you are too stupid to understand that you don't "give" money to the government

First there were the disastrous Bush Tax cuts.

The beginning of the great deficit.

Then we have the disastrous Trump Tax cuts that were going to pay for themselves. He promised a $4,000 raise when two thirds of Americans got nothing.
The economy is doing great.
Trump told his friends he is making them very rich.
The highest deficit in 6 years.
Nothing turned out the way Republicans promised.

But Republicans still blame Obama for not doing anything.

So why didn't Obama do anything:

/———/ And yet Obozo got almost everything he wanted including Obozocare

So, you are saying the Republicans gave him everything he wanted for 6 years,

How fucking stupid can you get.

OH there is NO QUESTION GOP were intimidated!

First of all they were afraid they'd be labeled racist by the MSM and Obama was the first to raise the issue and I quote:
Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida in 2008:
"They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced
and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"
Obama says Republicans will use race to stoke fear | Reuters

So was it any wonder especially in Iowa where he won the primary caucus in 2008 that people were intimidated to literally "STAND" for Obama or
be accused by reporters with microphones, etc., asking if they were racist because they didn't stand for Obama!

1. Caucusgoers separate into groups in corners or parts of the room for their candidates of choice. (It's kind of like a junior high dance, if the kids weren't so petrified of each other.)

How Exactly Do The Iowa Caucuses Work?

So unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans, because Iowans didn't want to be called "hicks", "dumb farmers", or "racists" by the extremely biased
MSM especially, they stood for Obama.

Secondly OBAMA told us he was an ANGRY black man back in 1995 but Iowans like millions of Americans never read Obama's autobiography
where he tells all of us "he is an angry black man" because in his words... he uses "TRICKS", "Tactics"...to fool people even his own mother.

All economics 101 theory bullcrap that does not work in the real world.

And even econ 101 does not say that higher taxes creates more demand.

Nobody takes takes the right wing seriously about economics. There is no Gravity, to their Frivolocity.

The left has an anecdotal, left wing example that supports an anecdotal, thirty-five dollar an hour "minimum wage".

The right wing complains Because the Poor may benefit from the rock bottom cost of a fifteen dollar an hour Minimum Wage. How Good, is that?

You talking about others not being taken seriously....is hillarious.

What do you mean "market based" ?

GEEZ....
FACTS FACTS FACTS!!!
OK... let's use your $15.00 figure raising all the people that work for minimum wage.
Q) How many people do you think work at minimum wage?
A) In 2014, about 1.3 million U.S. workers age 16 and over earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
Another 1.7 million had wages below the federal minimum. Together these workers make up 4 percent of all hourly paid workers. What are the characteristics of minimum wage workers? - UC Davis Center for Poverty Research
FACTS
So let's raise ALL these 3 million people to $15.00/hour.
Remember there were 1.3 million already being paid $7.25! so the additional hourly pay is $7.75 per hour.

So these 1.3 million would get another $7.75/hour and work 2,080 hours per year or a total gross of $20,956,000,000.

Payroll taxes paid by both employer and employee: 12.4% or a total of $2.6 billion additional Federal tax revenue.

Now you do know that these 1.3 million don't pay Federal income taxes and will not on this additional $21 billion...

the ONLY tax revenue will be payroll taxes.

So now let's calculate the remain 1.7 million that are less than $7.25...
Let's assume that figure they currently get paid is $5.00/hr so then get $10.00 more...
1.7 million working 2,080 or additional $35.4 billion in gross wages and at 12.4% payroll taxes an additional $4.4 billion in payroll taxes.

So to answer your really ignorant comment: "The Poor can pay more in taxes and create more in demand with a higher minimum wage
Just in additional payroll taxes the Federal government would get $7 billion a year...
Just enough to pay out 10% of the food stamps:
SNAP benefits cost $70.9 billion in fiscal year 2016
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - Wikipedia

Oh and WOW... this additional $55 billion in GDP spending... buying new cars, clothes, homes, food, etc....
Wow! that will amount to really creating an additional DEMAND adding to the GDP a whopping: 2/10ths of 1% 0.25%... now that will make a BIG difference!!!
Idiots.
In reality... half of these minimum paying jobs are held by people under 25...entry level.
Guess what you idiots of how money works!
This is what those guys have to look forward to because of your stupid think that one size $15.00 wage fits all!
REMEMBER I"M NOT against a $15.00 wage key word....WHERE IT is appropriate ! But not a federal mandate. NOT practical.

SEE the latest hamburger flipper!!!
