What's your stance on trickle down economics?
They were always a strawman
Not a real economics policy.
>>70152615
Oh Bill Maher what an insightful metaphor,totally congruent with reality. How can Jews be so supposedly smart and yet be completely inept when it comes to politics or visualizing how an economy works.
>>70152615
>What's your stance on trickle down economics?
A dumb meme at best.
>>70152615
That sounds more like socialism
>liberals support Obama bailing out wall street
>pretend they don't support trickle down economics
hypocrites all of them
>>70152615
Giving a "hot dog" to a dog.
WTF is that? I didnt know that dogs were cannibals
>>70152941
South american is the same as the euro/murica.
>>70152615
Either you provide the top the ability to grow the economy which actually happened or you let the government take the money and only give 80% back shrinking the economy.
The liberals would rather have the poor poorer provided it hurts the rich than everyone gain.
>>70152615
No part of that analogy makes sense.
Supply side economics is about reducing burdens, not about giving anything.
But, you know, merchants and all that.
>>70152615
The economy is not a zero sum game.
>>70152615
It doesn't work
>>70152615
Reaganomics is solid. Businessmen need to hire people and pay competitive wages to retain experienced employees and make more money. It's good for the working man, product quality, and overall economic velocity, but bad for tax revenue.
>>70153262
I didn't support that shit
>>70153528
Me niether and im liberal, it's just the fact that so much big business is put into wall street so not bailing it out would just make things worse, no matter what we were screwed with that dilemma
>>70152615
leftist meme
>>70153368
basically this.
i realized that we won't get improved healthcare in canada and it's only going to get worse with time because everyone wants people to get equal treatment no matter what.
It's more like feeding one dog hotdogs until he throws up and the other two eat the puke. Regulation fucks it up and if you space the hotdogs out the dog can eat them without throwing up. Just like the real world.
>>70153368
I smell the gospel of wealth on you
>>70152615
It doesn't exist. It's a made-up term that Leftists invented so that they could slander any fiscal policy that isn't "steal money from the rich and buy votes with it."
Literally no conservative politician has ever promoted or advocated that idiotic meme.
Also, top fucking kek at any Leftist talking shit about giving money to powerful rich people, that's literally their entire idea of economics. The government is the biggest rich bastard of them all, and they LOVE pouring money into the government and pretending that it somehow flows to the poor instead of into needless government bloat and lobbiests' pockets.
>>70152615
It might work if companies are forced to spend instead of holding on to profits.
>>70153368
That is the belief but it didn't turn out true. Opening up the top didn't lead to greater growth if anything it was less all it really did was grow inequality. Although it was always accepted it would it was just the increased growth would offset that so overall poorer people would actually be better off. That increased growth didn't manifest though.
>>70152615
That really is just a horrible analogy.
>>70152615
>Maher advocating cannibalism
>>70153379
It is a simplification of essentially what resulted out of supply side economics. The intent wasn't meant to be that but that is what happened.
It's a literal meme.

I think the rich need to pay their fare share. Most rich corporations don't even pay taxes cause the top 1% of the 100% lf wallstreet sends their assets oversees or use tax loopholes.
>>70154108
It does exist. Trickle down economics is just a political term that refers to Reaganomics or Supply side economics.
It is like saying Obamacare doesn't exist because it is actually called the Affordable Care Act.
>>70154108
It was actually a concept made popular by carnige in the mid 19th century as well as other higher business men all in the gospel of wealth, read it, it literally is trickle down economics
Welfare is actually more efficient then trickle down cause all welfare money from the rich gets spent from poor people and the multiplier effect of welfare stimulates the economy.
>>70154884
Can you articulate what fair is?
Even if they are paying a lower percentage, they are still paying more than you. Is that fair?
>>70152615
Maher's show apparently operates without the myriad of producers, directors, audio engineers, wardrobe, make-up artists, etc.. that receive a trickle down paycheck as a product of the relative success of his shows. His lack of self-awareness is truly stunning.
Fair is not bailing out Wall Street and making sure everyone makes a living wage
>>70153262
David Duke likes talking about how rich jewish bankers- such as goldman sachs- give money to presidential hopefuls so that they can use them like puppets.
What about the other banks?
are they all jew lead??
>>70152615
It's proven to be straight bull shit
Improve the middle class until it is strong and thirving, thats when people are spending money, das all you need
>>70154641
What a manly voice.
David Duke is a flat out racist.
>>70154641
Also that part about hating minorities. Kekd and btfo
>>70152615
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH WE TOLD THEM ITD FUKIN TRIKLE DOWN HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
It's not like the gubment is giving money to the rich they're just letting keep more money. It seemed to create the economic boost of the 90's that clinton took credit for.
>>70154641
why did nobody tell me about this based eEconomics guy with the soothing deep voice before?
>>70156815
Yeah clicking through him right now. /pol/ should push this guy. Also probably gonna masturbate to his voice
>>70152615
What a stupid metaphor
>>70153262
>all those universities
"hey, turns out that our ridiculously overprized scholarships are bringing us huge amounts of profit. what should we do with our surplus? invest in cancer research? fund engineering projects? quantum physics? donate it to schools? offer discounts to underprivileged prodigies?"
"HEY I FOUND IT LET'S GIVE ALL OF IT TO SOME NIGGER RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!"
To be fair, trickle down was originally horse and sparrow, as in the horse will shit enough that eventually the sparrow will find a seed to eat while picking through the horses shit.
>>70155116
It doesn't stimulate the economy. Welfare is a closed system.
You take wealth from rich people, give it to poor people, who give it back to rich people. Repeat.
There is no new wealth being generated, and no accumulation of wealth to diversify into other investments.
Why not just force the rich people to give poor people shit for free? The rich are paying for it anyway.
>>70157403
No it wasn't.
It's more like the sparrow taking a ride in the horses back to move into new pastures where seeds are plentiful so he doesn't have to expend any effort flying there himself.
>two lazy dogs sit around all day
>an industrious dog goes into the forest, catches a sparrow, and brings it back to eat
>the other dogs say "hey, we can't just let you have that"
>they say "you need to pay your FAIR SHARE for the GREATER GOOD"
>the lazy hounds tear the bird in half, and split it among themselves
>smugly discuss the virtues of sharing and the vices of "trickle-down economics" over their meal
>>70152615
>Give a dog a hot dog
Assuming the dogs in the analogy represent humans, then who is giving out the hot dog?
And assuming the hot dog in the analogy represents money, what does eating the hot dog represent?
>>70153386
By definition it's a zero sum game whore
>>70152615
>giving
Whoa Maher way to be intellectually and morally bankrupt you filthy kike
>>70152615
The only actual example of trickle down economics was when people actually said that giving money to the government would find its way to those who need help the most.
Instead it went to corporations, the middle class, wasteful beauracracy and all the fat cat public sector employees and their union mates.
