Trickle down has worked for 250 years. Saying it doesn't, doesn't make it so.
If you have concerns regarding the deficit, I'm all ears, but I don't give a eff how much money or taxes someone else makes or pays. Everyone should get paid as much as they can. Rich people are not to blame for the plight of poor people, there's no coherent argument supporting that statement, only a preference for socialist redistributive policy--which nobody wants in case you haven't noticed.
Trickle down works for the very few, so wrong, it guess it "worked" but not in a way joe schmoe gets to enjoy the benefits of it. The times of the greatest amount of people succeeding have been when it hasn't been in effect. But w/e you don't understand that. I have zero problem with people being rich, or that rich people are to blame for people being poor, there are plenty of people who are stupid with their money. But when you propose and have but into effect a tax system that allows people to get paid away with literally eff you money, instead of forcing them to prioritize their performance and the performance of the company with bonuses and incentives, tons of people lose. But I guess that's unfettered capitalism for you.
If your company have you a big salary, and mild bonus and incentives, you don't care as much about performing and helping than if they paid you a lower salary, but gave the the prospect of a big ass bonus.
No, it undeniably works for everyone engaged in the economy. Again, this is not debatable. You just want more redistribution and can't understand the difference.
No, you don't understand it. It undeniable works, but only those for those at the top, it undeniable shafts the ones down the ladder. Trickle down creates an oligarchical system undeniably. It forces wealth, and thus power up to those at the top, and those people with always do more to gain more of it. Some maybe good individuals, but all will do things to consolidate more wealth. Untaxing the rich to have them to use their wealth to create jobs and wealth for the lower class has literally
never ended well. Check Rome in the 100's BC, France in 1789, Russia 1917, Reagan in the 80's, and what happened in 2007/8. Also check out the conditions people lived in during the industrial revolution as robber barons lived high on the hog and everyone else was crammed 20 people a tiny room in squalor conditions. That was a time of true trickle down, and no one but the top liked that, and now those same rich people have tricked you into thinking their way is better, and every time you say "well duh that makes sense to my dumb dumb baby brain" they cart off more wealth and jobs and leave you holding the bag, sitting there wondering why crap went to hell.
It's not their fault, it's human nature to want to keep getting more wealthy. When you force them to be taxed on their income, but lessen the burden on bonuses and incentives pursuant to the their effectiveness of their leadership, it raises the tide and lifts more boats together. People should be rewarded for their work, and we need the wealthy to be an active and positive influence on our country, they do harbor some of our smartest and brightest, but allowing tax wise them dodge diverts their interest away, as I said if you could read, eff you money, and people walking away from what society needs with the majority of it's wealth and power does not bode well.
And of course it's is redistribution, but it's redistribution the resources and investment back into sectors that grow everyone's account, not just theirs. And if you really humbly think about it, the most innovation comes from the bottom, it seldom comes from the top. Where did apple, google, microsoft and the like start, sure as crap wan't at IBM, who laughed at all of them.
Here is a nice graph that I'll let you research the terms for yourself of why this is a worrisome problem, and check the dates, it all makes sense when you see this graph and the shrinking of the middle class.
