Trickle Down economics is a Hoax is up to 1600 likes! Are you one?

TDE-H will be very important in 2016 because the GOP nominee's economic plan will be supply side tax cuts. This page reaches 3000 to 30000 a week.

Got memes? I'll post them. Blog about economics I'll post them. Want to be an admin so you can share relevant articles as you run across them? Just ask.

I believe it should be more like a Rocket, you have all of the power at the very very bottom of the Rocket, if you put the power at the top of the Rocket it will be incredibly unbalanced, tip over, and kill us all. If the power is at the bottom of the Rocket however, we can reach new worlds!

Supply side investment does not trickle down* once outsourcing and offshoring became the preferred investment vehicle.
