    When is the last time you heard a conservative say “trickle-down economics”?

    Was it 1988? Or more recent than that?

      Literally every single day conservatives push for tax breaks for big corporations and ultra-wealthy Americans calling them “job creators”. Trickle down economics is the prevailing philosophy of the Republican Party.

      If conservatives don’t think it works, I guess I’m concerned about their continued push to concentrate wealth at the top, because the only explanation is that they want to turn the working class into a peasant class.

        If Democrats didn’t think it worked, they wouldn’t have let it stay the whole time.

        Clinton, Obama, Biden, etc, have all kept the same economic vision for America.
