Of inflation

2019-07-16 05:20:21 UTC  

And unemployment

2019-07-16 05:20:28 UTC  

Which was what reaganomics did

2019-07-16 05:20:46 UTC  

Trickle down?

2019-07-16 05:20:46 UTC  

2019-07-16 05:20:50 UTC  

No

2019-07-16 05:20:52 UTC  

Bad meme word

2019-07-16 05:20:58 UTC  

Supply side

2019-07-16 05:21:19 UTC  

Economics

2019-07-16 05:21:26 UTC  

Reaganomics was simple

2019-07-16 05:21:34 UTC  

address inflation by reducing gov spending

2019-07-16 05:21:40 UTC  

It worked didnt it

2019-07-16 05:21:41 UTC  

That didnt necessarily improve economy

2019-07-16 05:21:43 UTC  

Nvm

2019-07-16 05:21:58 UTC  

Address unemployment by

2019-07-16 05:22:03 UTC  

Reducing regulation

2019-07-16 05:22:05 UTC  

Btrb

2019-07-16 05:22:13 UTC  

It did improve the economy actually

2019-07-16 05:22:30 UTC  

🤔

2019-07-16 05:22:33 UTC  

Critics of it point to rising inequality though

2019-07-16 05:22:41 UTC  

Rising inequality

2019-07-16 05:22:44 UTC  

Resulting from?

2019-07-16 05:22:58 UTC  

Tax cuts

2019-07-16 05:23:06 UTC  

I see

2019-07-16 05:23:14 UTC  

Though everyone got them, the wealthiest got the biggest breaks

2019-07-16 05:23:27 UTC  

Overall though, everyone’s lives did improve and incomes went up

2019-07-16 05:23:28 UTC  

So, essentially, trickle down then

2019-07-16 05:23:34 UTC  

In a way

2019-07-16 05:24:18 UTC  

No

2019-07-16 05:24:25 UTC  

Here’s the difference

2019-07-16 05:24:51 UTC  

Trickle down refers to mainly breaks for the wealthiest, assuming that they’ll invest that money in business, and it goes down to workers wages rising eventually

2019-07-16 05:25:07 UTC  

Supply side is tax cuts for everyone at the same percentage

2019-07-16 05:25:14 UTC  

Or even flat tax

2019-07-16 05:25:14 UTC  

I see

2019-07-16 05:25:33 UTC  

Both in practice had the wealthiest taxed at the highest percentage though

2019-07-16 05:25:49 UTC  

What do you mean

2019-07-16 05:26:00 UTC  

You said tax breaks for the wealthy in trickle down

2019-07-16 05:26:45 UTC  

I did

2019-07-16 05:27:02 UTC  

Percentage wise

2019-07-16 05:27:25 UTC  

But in both cases, the wealthiest do have the highest taxes to pay in percentages

2019-07-16 05:27:41 UTC  

Supply side for example is a 5% break for all income groups
