Hyperbolic B.S.

Under JFK, under Reagan, under W. Bush, he loss of tax revenue under EXISTING jobs, has actually resulted in creation of vastly more businesses, more factories, and each creating thousands more jobs, that all create tens of billions more in taxable revenue, and therefore MORE revenue for he federal government, not less.

We’ve done trickle down economics as a nation for most of my life. It’s left us with a weaker middle class as more wealth is in fewer hands. To the point now we have someone like Musk buying power and influence right at the top. And the deficit keeps blowing up. At this point it’s obvious that republicans are trying to do massive cuts in Medicare and Medicaid. Even social security looks like it’s going to take a hit. All done while trying to get even more tax cuts for the wealthy. Trickle down economics have left us weaker and in even more debt. We are now a fading super power with Trump letting the world know we can’t be trusted any longer to lead.

Fair play!
