        When is the last time you heard a conservative say “trickle-down economics”?

        Was it 1988? Or more recent than that?

          Literally every single day conservatives push for tax breaks for big corporations and ultra-wealthy Americans calling them “job creators”. Trickle down economics is the prevailing philosophy of the Republican Party.

          If conservatives don’t think it works, I guess I’m concerned about their continued push to concentrate wealth at the top, because the only explanation is that they want to turn the working class into a peasant class.

            If Democrats didn’t think it worked, they wouldn’t have let it stay the whole time.

            Clinton, Obama, Biden, etc, have all kept the same economic vision for America.

      Who is defending them? It’s California being weird again.
