THIS THIS THIS

This is what they promised. It was going to be the miracle of supply-side economics.

(Note: They did not call it โ€œtrickle-down economics.โ€ I donโ€™t know where that term came from, but it has mislead generations.)

In the 1980s, I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal. I drank their editorial pages Flavor Aid. Contributors promised technological advancement and great new jobs as investors sought investments. One could imagine a future of flying cars.

@dgar Lol. Also, if you reduce the loopholes we may be better off. That said, whatever taxes the rich are made to pay they will most likely pass it down to their consumers and also take from the wages of their employers. Only putting a cap on how much top people can earn may somewhat help - though they may find a way to get around that too.
@dgar itโ€™s so true . . . . yet any such message on social media attracts a slew of sheeple and bots supporting policies to further increase wealth inequality.
@dgar That happens right after we see pigs sprout wings and fly.๐Ÿ˜„
@dgar Hahaha, I love this, but also hate that I'm old enough to get this
@dgar You can trust the rich in that... As always ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘ยฎ๏ธยฉ๏ธโ„ข๏ธ
@dgar
Give me all your money. You'll bei better off.
@dgar When I told my mother why she didn't focus on selling to people with more money, she replied to me: "rich people are rich because they don't expend money and some times don't even pay or try to get discounts due to their positions, while modest people will pay their debts religiously"
Yes, of course they will!
@dgar Good cartoon, gets the point across in an easy to understand way. You know that Lucy is going to pull the football away, and Charlie Brown will end up on his back. Same bait and switch logic as trickle down economics
@dgar yes keep on cutting the taxes for the rich it'll work this time I promise!!1!1!1!!!
@dgar โ€” can millenials and gen Z even get the reference? Is this current enough?
@dgar They shouldn't cut taxes on the rich, that would be unfair. Instead everyone should pay the same percentage of their income in taxes, that would be fair and just.
@dgar Lucy needs to be grounded. What a brat.

@dgar No, theyโ€™ll just horde that money like they think theyโ€™re Smaug, right down to destroying anyone who tries to take even a pittance of it.
