Trump suggests states raise taxes to pay for child care, says federal government can’t afford it

Yup and believe me, I never received any trickle dickle and I’m 81. He was a typical republican president. We ended up having less of everything, yet we get we ended up paying more taxes and more junk fees.

Yep, that's what he promised would happen. But instead the rich kept all of their extreme wealth and (as we've learned from the Epstein files) used it to fulfill their most sick and depraved fantasies. We need to return to the Eisenhower tax rates, where the top rate was 90% for $2 million in inflation-adjusted dollars. When the top rate was 90% it heavily disincentivize giving corporate executives large pay packages, where most of everything above $2 million would be taxed. So instead companies were incentivized to reinvest their excess revenue back into their business via R&D, increasing pay and benefits for their workers, etc. That tax policy helped create the strongest middle class in the history of the world.

It had been coined that like 60 years before Reagan and prior to that it was called Horse and Sparrow. Reagan never used trickle down, he called it Reaganomics Same shit, different logo.

Yes and no. Trickle down was actually invented to make fun of the policy. But kinda like how “bootstraps” were invented to demonstrate the impossibility of lifting yourself out of poverty without outside assistance (imagine someone lifting their entire body into the air by holding onto their shoes and pulling), it got co-opted and embraced by the exact people it tried to make fun of, because conservatives have always loved two things: co-opting the language of resistance and the illiterate.
