All of them that got bailed out by the government. That's the difference between a small business and a large corporation. The owner of a small business goes down with the ship. The CEO of a major corporation will get a multi-million dollar severance package if fired and if he/she drives it to the ground he/she will still make it out wealthy.
Which means we are NOT practicing trickle down economics.
In a nutshell, because job growth in well paying jobs has been beyond crappy and raises have been nil for years due to abysmal policies perpetrated by this administration.
That's bull****. Job growth is crappy and raises have been nil because they will hire as few as possible and those they hire they will pay as little as possible
Too many on these forums can't answer it, so they just run from the question. Taxes for the past couple decades have been historically some of the lowest in history, while middle-class wages have never been so far below the top. It's clear trickle down economics doesn't work.
Regulations highest in history.
Local state income property taxes and "fees" highest in history.
ALLOWING PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR MONEY is NOT WELFARE...
no matter how many times you try to pretend it is..
ITS NOT..
I agree. QE is welfare though. The problems here is that Obama oversaw the largest welfare program in the history of the world for the rich but far too many still only want to blame the (R)'s so their complaints ring hollow. They don't care about the lower classes like they claim, they only care about party.
So bailing out CEOs who ran their company into the ground with TAX PAYER MONEY is not a form of welfare? These people were then awarded millions in bonuses.
If taxes are at some of their lowest levels in history, and the wealthiest in this country are richer than ever, why hasn’t the growth in the wealth of the middle class matched that of the top 2%?
#Exposing Republican Lies#
What taxes are you talking about?
Our real tax rate in California is 50 percent for the working class .. those of us working that is...with all the hidden taxes... and a large chunk goes to liberal social programs and support of illegal aliens
Lefties and their ignorant ideology have never had a clue about what supply side economics actually is.
They laugh and make jokes about "trickle down", as if the corporations and businesses were supposed to take the tax savings and ride through the streets throwing money out their windows.
In truth, they take the savings and reinvest in their businesses and actually grow their business creating more employment.
Here's the key factor.....if you have minimum skills and/or put in minimum effort, you'll earn minimum wages.
Republicans generally don't even pretend tax cuts to the wealthy create jobs anymore. They know it's been a thoroughly debunked policy, especially given trends over the past 15 years. They still do promote tax cuts anyway, pretending those tax cuts will prevent "more jobs from going over seas", even though that strategy hasn't worked either.
