Why we need rise-up economics, not trickle-down

[egbertowillies]

How to build the economy? Not through trickle-down economics. Tax cuts to the rich and big corporations don’t lead to more investment and jobs.

The only real way to build the economy is through “rise-up” economics: Investments in our people – their education and skills, their health, and the roads and bridges and public transportation that connects them.

1. There's Never Been Any Empirical Evidence to Support "Trickle Down" Economics

It's always been a scam.

3. redumbliCONs are well on there way to wreaking the economy again; it is

what they do best! Kill the consumer, they kill 70% of the economy. Increase the debt to provide 82% of the taxcuts to the wealthiest destroys America's future and stability. Alienate our allies and neighbor countries with trade tariffs while also taking away corn markets for our own farms. This is the work of greedmongering madmen that must lose their jobs and be stopped!
