Open your ears and listen very carefully, not to my words but words uttered by President Trump, and the words not said.
The Dow rose to over 21,000 today, and who did that benefit? Only those who have parked their savings into equities; the result of his words increased the wealth of the investment class overnight, but not those who have been left behind and watched the greatest inequity since the Gilded Age of wealth grow.
Will Trickle Down improve your economic situation? Will it open up new and well paid jobs for the working poor, the middle class and those now in college or recent grads with massive debt?
Will the repeal of the PPACA (notice Trump called it "Obamacare" (for obvious political purpose) and not called it the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and in the process lied about the rise in cost when what came before rose annually too, and left too many behind.
Let's see if The Congress, so concerned with the massive debt, will pass a budget with the "largest military increase in history" cut taxes to business and spent one TRILLION Dollars on our nation's failing infrastructure.
IMO putting a Trillion Dollars into rebuilding, renewing and repairing our nation's infrastructure make sense, but not when taxes are cut and an increase in the military spending also cuts domestic spending (consider what domestic spending will be cut when a trillion is put into fixing our infrastructure? Whose taxes will be cut, what fees will be increased and added, and whose money will be used for all of this?)
I love this.... the first paragraph is basically an opening statement that he's going to make up whatever he wants Trump to have said, and attack it. "Listen carefully... really carefully to what he said, and what he didn't say..."

I made $19K last year. I have thousands of dollars in stock. I'm the investment class. Want to know who else is the investment class? Pensions, Unions, 401Ks, IRAs.
Blacks participating more in stock investing, study shows
Hate those investment class black people!

Everything you have right now, is due to trickle down. Every job. Every product. Everything you have, is due to trickle down.
If not for trickle down, you wouldn't have a job. If not for trickle down, you wouldn't have food to eat. If not for trickle down, you wouldn't have a computer to us, or internet to use, or even this forum to complain about trickle down on.

Health care costs are rising faster now, than they were before Obama Care, and the cost to consumers has drastically increased. Companies are not cutting pay, to cover the cost of health care.
At my company, they started offering $1/hour less for Temps to come full time. Meaning that as a temp, with zero health care benefits, they were paid more. When they are hired on, they are offered less money, than they earned as a Temp. That has never happened before since I started working in High School. People always got a pay raise when being hired on. Not a pay cut.
My last job interview before this job, they said the company offered zero health care at all. That's never happened before either. I never applied for a job anywhere, that offered no health care.
My renter who lives here, he works in InfoTech. He had job placement through a temp agency. When they offered him a full time position, they told him he'd make $15,000 less a year to be hired on full time with benefits, or they would pay him the same amount no benefits. He got the money instead.
This is happening throughout the economy. Obamacare is a disaster. It helps a few, and screws over the rest of society.
