I still can’t get over the fact that people discussed trickle down economics like it made any fucking sense.
@StillIRise1963 Many still believe that if we give more money to rich people, they'll invest it, which will create jobs. Those lies (including the notion that people create jobs) got surprising traction in the 80s. To this day, politicians peddle the idea that we should give extra tax breaks to the "job creators."
To those who support the idea, my questions are: Who exactly are these job creators? What are their names? How many jobs did each one create last year? If their investment didn't create jobs, do we raise their taxes? How do we distinguish between their personal funds and the tax breaks that the rest of us paid for?
