Really, it's just a supply side reduction of tax-burden.
Of course it works.
Isee x2
using the term 'trickle-down economics' is a trap because it is a stawman of a position that DOES have particular merits
trickle down ecconomics is kind of a meme though
yup
It just works better when you're reducing the tax burden on the consumption side.
oh fuck im aggreeing with godman again
I actually found it used in a book I'm reading.
So ub
Indeed, @ManAnimal.
the thing to realize is that the reduction of a tax burden only helps an economy that is comparmentalized from world markets
So if you factor in the global market
the money must be USED under the same gov umbrella
It doesn't hold much?
and buy cheap forgein goods
tariffs are required to make that idea work
It actually might work here then.
conceptually you could make an effort to stratify the worlds culture and economics and then the compartment becomes the entire globe
but thats utopian thinking
No, it still reduces the amount of expendable income, if it's an imposition on the consumer side.
it's an old argument i used to have with my conservative grandmother who was staunchly anti-union
You can make up for it by opening markets, sure, importing foreign goods and services.
Nonetheless, it's still that much less of an expendable income available to the rightful owner of the seized wages that're the byproduct of their labors.
unions place pressure on industry making it less profitable and Clinton signs NAFTA so that companies can afford to pay workers more. once the tariffs are gone, those companies just move their labor abroad
Unions are bad.
Indeed.
This, my friends, is the representation of the inner child
Collective bargaining isn't.
Cancerous.
Speaking of unions
i wouldn't go that far
a type of collective bargaining is nessecary to keep the corporations in check
it has to be a balance
not asking so much the company can't make a profit
