      Oh. Trickle down is working exactly as intended.

      Don’t worry, I’m sure the GOP will collapse or stop supporting trickle-down economics any day now. I mean, the voters would crucify them for continuing an obviously failed policy that only hurts the poor and middle class for the past 40 years, wouldn’t they?

      … wouldn’t they…?

        I had an engineering teacher who insisted that it was the best model for economics. He was a great engineering teacher. He said he minored in economics. He was a teacher who had to go on strike because the board of the school all voted to give themselves raises and cut the number of teachers and give no one else raises while raising tuition. You can’t fix brainwashing when it’s that deep.

          You should have told him to keep working, the wealth will trickle down from the board to him any day now.

          It’s a dick move, but those sorts of idiots only really learn when they get their noses shoved in their own piss (a few hundred times).

      Now… when are people ever going to figure this out and stop voting for the people who tell them it does?

          Agreed. It was sort of a rhetorical question. They’ll never learn as long as they’re being given those carrots.
