Yes it has continued to grow inequality. And now we have so much the economy is slowed.

You just don't understand the complexity of economics. Trickle down doesn't cure everything nor does it prevent all negative factors. It's only a part of the economy.

I'm quite sure I understand ecnomics better than you. Trickle down did not work, that is why repubs no longer even make that claim. History has proven there was no trickle.

If you think that trickle down was supposed to solve all our problems then you don't know shit about economics. If you think trickle down was a failure and/or that after all this time it would still survive everything else that happened, then you don't know shit about anything at all.

No it seems you know nothing. It gave us growing inequality and stagnant wages. And now the growing inequality has stagnated our economy.

Ok, if you are simply going to argue like a 10 year old, I'm done. Dismissed.

That would be you. You have given 0 support for your wacky claims. 10 year old describes you perfectly.

dude still talking about reagan. Can you believe it? And trickle down didn't work. If it didn't work there'd be no reason to bring it up.

The reason to bring it up is to remind those few NOT affected by it that it has worked for the tiny MINORITY.

dude reagan was spot on, and people did make money. in fact invested in the 90s and Bill Clinton and the republican congress got us in the black. How about that, a dem pres with a repub congress and it worked.

Unfortunately, the dotcoms all but dried up and manufacturing decided to leave cause of NAFTA.

FACT: US corporations pay an effective tax rate that is on par with other nations.

U.S. effective corporate tax rates are not a burden
The top statutory tax rate of 35% in the U.S. is somewhat higher than that of 30 other OECD countries, but the average effective tax rate — the actual rate paid after deductions and credits — is slightly lower than our competitors, according to theCongressional Research Service (CRS).

Several studies have found that U.S. corporations pay a similar or a lower effective tax rate — the rate actually paid — than corporations in other countries. For example:

• Our average effective tax rate is 27.1% compared with 27.7% for the other 30 OECD countries, according to CRS.
• Profitable corporations paid U.S. income taxes amounting to just 12.6% of worldwide income in 2010, according to the Government Accountability Office.
• Citizens for Tax Justice’s survey of 288 corporations, which included most of the Fortune 500 corporations that were profitable each year from 2008 through 2012, found that they paid an average effective federal tax rate of just 19.4%over that period.
• Of 125 corporations in that study that had significant foreign profits, 82 (two-thirds) paid a higher effective rate to foreign governments than they paid to the U.S.

Fact Sheet: Corporate Tax Rates | Americans for Tax Fairness

27.1% is not zero, as you claimed.

I claimed?
I never claimed that but since you brought it up......

• General Electric, Boeing, Verizon and 23 other profitable Fortune 500 firms paid no federal income taxes from 2008 to 2012.

That is the same left wing source you used before. I seriously doubt it's veracity, but it's beside the point. To shrink the gap we need to provide incentive for the 1% to put their money to work and to stop making poverty an acceptable lifestyle.

I doubt your veracity or even your ability to understand the subject.

Yeah you're done. Dismissed.

They do put it to work. For themselves.

They do put it to work. For themselves.

Sure they do. My point is to make it so they will put it to use for themselves and we also benefit.

Like trickle down ecomomics? We already know that doesn't work.

Sure it does and it did.

Yes it has continued to grow inequality. And now we have so much the economy is slowed.

You just don't understand the complexity of economics. Trickle down doesn't cure everything nor does it prevent all negative factors. It's only a part of the economy.
