and this is what they give you for an hours work.Easy....
Thats how the economy works.
Someone invests and risks their money to start a business and hires those who dont have the money to do the same thus giving those people jobs.
It ain't rocket science.
As the saying goes...Have you ever been hired by a poor person?

They get richer and they keep you in poverty.
I wasn't talking about me.You must suck at what you do.
Tax cuts allow all sorts of things that may or may not produce a stimulative effect on the economy. A company can just as easily buy back stock or buy more automation, neither of which does anything good for the economy.Trickle down economics is mainly the idea that tax cuts for the wealthy translate directly into them having more money to pay their workers.Easy....

“During the post-World War II decades, for both blue-collar and white-collar workers, the norm in large, established U.S. business corporations was career employment with one company. When layoffs occurred, they tended to be temporary and, in unionized workplaces, on a last-hired, first-fired basis. Supported by a highly progressive income tax system, countercyclical government fiscal policy sought to reduce the severity of business fluctuations, while employment generated by ongoing government spending, particularly on higher education, healthcare, advanced technology, and physical infrastructure (for example, the interstate highway system), complemented the employment opportunities provided by the business sector. The result was relatively equitable and stable economic growth from the late 1940s to the beginning of the 1970s.”
"Since the beginning of the 1980s, employment relations in U.S. industrial corporations have undergone three major structural changes—which I summarize as rationalization, marketization, and globalization—that have permanently eliminated middle-class jobs.2 From the early 1980s, rationalization, characterized by plant closings, eliminated the jobs of unionized blue-collar workers. From the early 1990s, marketization, characterized by the end of a career with one company as an employment norm, placed the job security of middle-aged and older white-collar workers in jeopardy. From the early 2000s, globalization, characterized by the movement of employment offshore, left all members of the U.S. labor force, even those with advanced educational credentials and substantial work experience, vulnerable to displacement."
“Over the course of the 1980s, the stock market came to react favorably to permanent downsizings of the blue-collar labor force. As secure middle-class jobs for high-school educated blue-collar workers permanently disappeared, there was no commitment on the part of those who managed U.S. industrial corporations, or the Republican administrations that ruled in the 1980s, to invest in the new capabilities and opportunities required to upgrade the quality, and expand the quantity, of well-paid employment opportunities in the United States on a scale sufficient to reestablish conditions of prosperity for displaced members of the labor force.”
"Once U.S. corporations adopted these structural changes in employment, however, they often pursued these employment strategies purely for financial gain. Some companies closed manufacturing plants, terminated experienced (and generally more expensive) workers, and offshored production to low-wage areas of the world simply to increase profits, often at the expense of the companies’ long-term competitive capabilities and without regard for displaced employees’ long years of service. Moreover, as these changes became embedded in the structure of U.S. employment, business corporations failed to invest in new, higher value-added job creation on a sufficient scale to provide a foundation for equitable and stable growth in the U.S. economy.”
“On the contrary, with superior corporate performance defined as meeting Wall Street’s expectations for quarterly earnings per share, companies turned to massive stock repurchases to “manage” their own corporations’ stock prices. Trillions of dollars that could have been spent on innovation and job creation in the U.S. economy over the past three decades have instead been used to buy back stock for the purpose of manipulating the company’s stock price. This financialized mode of corporate resource allocation has been legitimized by the ideology, itself a product of the 1980s and 1990s, that a business corporation should be run to “maximize shareholder value.”5 Through their stock-based compensation, corporate executives who make these decisions are themselves prime beneficiaries of this focus on rising stock prices as the measure of corporate performance."

That's not the argument you made. There is zero point to adding deficits into that argument. I mean no disrespect, but that was just... Wrong.Actually I do know what I am talking about and trickle down did not trickle down. Unless you lived outside of the country.Not a republican...Reagan started it. He set record deficits.
G.W. Bush tried it. He set new records for deficits.
Trump tried it again. He set new records for deficits.
Jobs have never been created due to tax cuts for the rich.
You can create jobs while "setting new records for deficits." Your argument is just flat out a bad one. Not saying you are wrong, I am saying it's just not a good argument. All you did there was say "I don't know what the hell I'm talking about"
Yes I have been hired by a poor person. Money was great!Easy....
