* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Are you for Trickle Down Capitalism?

Liberals call capitalism "trickle down" while conservatives call it "flood down". Republican flood down capitalism is, for example,* when Steve Jobs invents a super complex state-of-the art smart phone computer, and makes it so cheap that most of the world can afford it, or, when so much pay floods down to Americans they can spend $1 trillion on Christmas, or, when 2.6 million of us can afford to board planes every day in America.

Liberals pretend they don't like flood down capitalism so call it trickle down capitalism to imply not enough trickles down. There solution is trickle down welfare which would undermine the great flood downward always underway in America. Can anyone agree with liberals on this?

What the New Left does not understand and can not understand and will not ever understand because reality violates the fantasies that they hold dear in their heads (and we sure cant have THAT) is that a lot of our problems today are due to ignorance and are due to lack of effort and are due to lack of caring...it is because the people are bad that we suffer from much more than our bad systems....Most especially and most tragically at the top the quality of moderns sucks.

WE USED TO BE BETTER

Yeah, it's so great that a lower percentage of young Americans own their homes today than in years past despite having more training and working longer, thus delaying marriage and family formation and getting into more debt.

But at least my computer is fast!

1) nobody said it was great!!
2) economy has been slowing here and racing in China where liberals shipped our jobs and companies with their taxes unions regulations and idiotic trade deals

now do you understand??
 
Trickle down economics is always used as a reason to hand money to the wealthy, but stimulus is stimulus, so if we gave that selfsame money to the poor it would have virtually the same effect on the economy.

So why should we focus our stimulus spending on the people who need it the least?

The answer is quite simple, in my view. Surely someone can guess it?

econ 101: obviously wrong since the poor don't cause the economy to grow. Do you understand??

The poor are actually more likely to rapidly spend that money than the wealthy (whose needs are less immediate) on local goods and services, causing the broader boost to the economy we want from a stimulus.

But take heart, because the wealthy folks that control those goods and service will still get it in the end, and it still spends even after it's been pawed up by the hoi polloi.

But the capitalists told us that free trade would be great!
 
First off there is no such thing as trickle down capitalism.
there is a thing called capitalism. that is it.

capitalism is a method of delivery of goods and services to a given market.

that is it. those that benefit use that method of delivery.
this applies in all area's from working skills to businesses.

those that can market themselves very well benefit from that system more than others that don't.

You can have capitalism even with different monetary systems. Our current monetary system is a debt based ones that benefits only the banks who collect interest on money that they don't have, and who come to own everything. We can have a monetary system that benefits all of society instead of parasitical financiers.

econ 101: you could give people in Africa 1 million dollars each, but it would not cause the economy to grow. It it was that easy all the world's economic problems would have been solved centuries. What made the economy grow from Stone Age to here was the the supply of new inventions, not the supply of new money. Simple enough?
 
, but stimulus is stimulus,

totally 100% illiterate I'm afraid. The world stood still for 1 million years until, just 200 years ago, when the economic ground became fertile enough to produce the new inventions that let the planet support 10 billion more people. Do you understand? The only significant economic objective is to make the economic ground fertile enough for new inventors because they are the source of growth, which features new jobs and higher pay for all.
 
So why should we focus our stimulus spending on the people who need it the least?

they need it the most because they are the ones who invent the goods and services that sustain the lives of all 8 billion of us at always higher standards of living. Without them we are all dead.

Well, liberals use the term, trickle down, attempting to focus your attention on the aspect of capitalism wherein, for example, Steve Jobs invents the iphone, and millions of them it trickle down to ordinary users. The liberal typically wants to tax away the money Jobs earns-at gun point, of course- and give it to ordinary users too. Good plan except it attacks the incentive to invent the Iphone in the first place.

That cultural heritage of work ethic and knowledge belongs to all of us. Why do bankers get all of that benefit?

No. Liberals don't call it that and conservatives don't call it that.

Why do you hate capitalism?

you mean like in school books?? so you want free education????

of course the beauty and wonder of Republican capitalism is that its so fair. If bankers got it all we'd all be free to start our own banks until banking was no more profitable than other industries. Do you understand?

As I saw a few minutes ago on fake tv....the world's wealthiest twenty six people own as much money as three point four BILLION people.

Jobs didn't invent the I phone, he came up with the idea and others invented it, he just got the credit and most of the money.

well, thanks to freedom, if you don't like that you are free not to buy their products anymore lest they become even richer.
