Thinking of the whole trickle down Kansas and Louisiana experiment.

When they give tax breaks to higher earners, because trickle down economics is so great, what in the heck makes them think some rich person's investments are going to be in their home states of Kansas or Louisiana? That is utter stupidity. Especially with growth slowing way down in those places. Trickle down economics is just a ruse to cleave the rich from the poor and get rid of the middle class, so the then Uber rich will have all the power and not have to live under the 'shackles' of democracy like regulations and taxes.
