Much of that income growth is from stock appreciation. Last time I checked ANYBODY can buy stocks.

Are you speaking of the stocks that are GIVEN to the rich versus the stocks that the peasants can BUY??

They were giving stock options which can in-fact become worthless. This is how they get rewarded only if the company does well.

"giving"
 
My Trumper relatives actually preach it as sound economic advice. Give more money to the rich and they will create jobs with it. It’s sad to see.

Thanks for helping me prove what I'm saying.

And as I've said before, both I and my wife make big salaries. Power couple. And "I" fight for people like you/middle class and lower middle class people more than you fight for middle class/lower middle class republicans (I'm sure like yourself/your loved ones).

World upside down.

It's nearing a religion at this point. No matter how much proof you provide that supply-side economics is idiotic, they cheer for more tax cuts for businesses and the rich.
 
Maybe Americans like farmers in Arkansas need to get them some "trickle down".
