@Sascha_Raubal @dufthummel Ich glaube, es ist genau andersrum: die Typen aus den Wirtschaftswissenschaften wissen genau, dass ihre Gesetze nur ausgedachter BS und reine Ideologie sind, und denken dann, das wäre in anderen Disziplinen genauso.

That's a reagan thing across my 60 years. He gave speeches accusing the government of pretty much criminal inefficiency and framed it as misuse of tax dollars. People bought it and didn't mind when they were made less safe by cutting the workforce and deregulation. Conservatives, who by nature didn't trust any government other than the local one, latched onto the mantra that deregulation and less federal oversight improved the public sector since "capitalism always arrives at an efficient use of money" and #Trickledown was born.
Of course the reality is that Well Regulated Capitalism can be manipulated into actually helping people while the fucking wild wild West of Unregulated Capitalism only benefits the capitalist personally. Especially when you maximize the system for sociopathic behavior which brought us the Robber Barons, Musk, Gates and Bezos. Wealth doesn't trickle down, it accumulates. That's all.

We recognize "hording" as a mental disease, but don't recognize the hording of MONEY as a variation of the same illness.

People obsessed with wealth put getting rich over people, and then try to sell everyone on the "Greed it good" credo. "Rich people create job!" (no, CONSUMERS create jobs) and their wealth will #TrickleDown (like elephant droppings feed the birds.)

...and they're 100% in control of our government right now. #FascismHasComeToAmerica
