Trump wants to send children up chimneys and work down mines

Justin Passing said:
There was some guru wag on Bloomberg who said something like:
You need those rich people. They make things work.
If you took all the money from the rich people
and gave it to the poor people
you'd have a lot more poor people.

Discuss for homework.....

So giving money to poor people makes them poorer
How does that work?

Trickle down is a euphemism for p*ssing on the poor.

"Trickle down" was coined as a supposedly-legitimate economic outcome.

Its real purpose was to enable further upwards wealth movement without enraging the plebs.

"Yes, we're getting richer, but you'll benefit because of this!" sort of approach.

I guess you don’t know it’s possible to make more money and faster by wealth destruction than wealth creation….if you are rich

But you claimed Trump was a “man of people” …..they aren’t gonna do well out of it, they are gonna be fekked badly.

I see what just passing has been trying to drum into you for days about rising and falling prices is finally sinking in

The example is not "trickle down theory".

The point is that (a sizeable portion) of the framework in which people better themselves comes from the efforts of "the rich".

I wouldn't be too sure about that personally

How many have made others rich at their own expense is the point.

It really isn't.

If it was compulsory to be in servitude, I'd agree with you. But it isn't.

Sure, there is exploitation - seemingly more common in the cases of the ultra wealthy - but if your point was true, there would be no middle class.

Which is demonstrably not the case.
