Sure. Time for a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.It's a good thing for all that the left are a bunch of liars every day all the time. that means that everything they say is wrong and this will trickle down and the economy will continue to improve. History has shown this to be true.
Time to celebrate!
Wrong direction. Trickle up never works.
Sure it does
Put money in the hands of consumers
The rich are consumers, and when they spend $$ they spend a lot of it, that gives work to a lot of people.
What progressives hate is that when taxes go down the money flow is in the hands of the people, not in the hands of the usually progressive government program people.
That and their jealousy of people with more stuff than them.
When you look at spending as a percent of total wealth...they spend very little
That is why focusing wealth at the top does very little
But we aren't taxing total wealth, we are taxing income here. If they keep more of their income, which is liquid, they may be more apt to spend it.
Including non-liquid assets in this conversation doesn't work.
