Tax cuts for the wealthy only benefit the rich | LSE Research
Trickle-down economic policies are destined to fail, research suggests. David Hope explains why the issue is so controversial.
Trickle down economics is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the unintelligent. Higher deficits, greater wealth inequality and suffering for the middle and lower classes. But donβt take my word for it. A fifty year study of the 18first world economies.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Photo of prices on a RaceTrac gas station sign. The prices today were: βRegular $3.299; Diesel $4.699β
Today in SE Louisiana, where they drill for oil, I paid $3.299 a gallon compared to 9 days ago when I paid $2.359. That is a 94 cent increase, so far, & the prices in other states are much higher.
The increase in gas prices will make everything else more expensive, too. #TrumpsGasProblem
