In hindsight, what went so wrong with trickle down theory?
>>
>>18154308
It's like tipping: if it's not enforced, if there are no consequences, and you're supposed to tip a substantial amount of your net take in, are you really going to do it?
>>
>>18154308
You chimpanzee wouldn't be writing bullshit with your iPhone 77 now if trickle down economics didn't work. Because you unproductive parasite wouldn't survive a week if you weren't sustained in care-free life by betters than you.

Not coined but his policies hinged on the idea.

>infinite taxes to pay for niggers and immigrants
You literally need taxes to do anything in a functioning state. Also most of the people on welfare and benefits are either old or white. It's been public knowledge for 40+ years at this point.

People at the top tend hoard the wealth, they don't actually spend significant amounts of it.
>>
>>18154550
The CEOs made a shitload of profit off of the iPhones by paying a lot in stocks and leveraging the future sales that would be produced by the workers to pay the workers in things they hoped would appreciate in value, they didn't trickled down their own wealth, they used their wealth to establish strawmen that exploited people who signed contracts to work for the strawman in hopes of future cash windfalls.
>>
>>18154593
No you stupid nigger. They invent and produce staff which benefits you.
>>
>>18154308
The worst mistake was calling it trickle down because it triggers instant assmad with socies.
Does that graph show that the party who constantly bitches about taxing the rich also plan to tax everybody more in general?
>>
>>18154601
Dude, Reagan was AGAINST corporational shenaginans. Don't pretend that the current bordello is some "trickle down reaganomics". It's good old Keynsian socialism. You DON'T fix it by increasing business taxes - which is all you morons want.
>>
>>18154603
No, corpocuck, they raid public universities for new technology to privatize and leverage nonexistent future sales to create hype and pay engineers, then fire the engineers when the product actually succeeds.
>>
>>18154603
>They invent
They don't. They pay research staff pennies to do that, that is if they don't suppress it.
>produce staff which benefits you.
A fuckton of their manufacturing is abroad (or they slap a Maed in X label) and they have directly advocated for the gutting/commodification of the education system pre-post uni/trade school and walling off research journals.
>>
>>18154612
>You DON'T fix it by increasing business taxes - which is all you morons want.
Taxes aren't the issue. It's the fact that infrastructure and actual consistent delivery of services has been basically wrecked at this point. Having zero taxes mean jackshit if the roads are total ass or brownouts occur.
>>
>>18154619
Just so happens that only the "tax the rich" folks like to seethe about some "trickle down". Reagan has explained to them that murdering business is not the way forward.
Increasing business competition (that is something exactly opposite of what these morons want) is. China has over 100 independent, private car producers. They develop because they DON'T wine about business owners and "the rich".

Trickle down economics is literally correct. A better question is, why did we allow leftists to take over public discourse to go around saying it's false?
>out of 10 people there are 2 successful farmers who are successful and produced 100 beans this year, 5 who are average and produced 50 beans, and 3 lazy bums who dicked around and produced 0 beans
>leftists want us to take beans away from the successful farmers and give to the NEETs, every year we will continue to make 450 beans total per year (assuming the successful farmers dont leave for somewhere with better tax policies)
>if we dont take beans away from the successful farmers, they may be able to use them for experimentation and we may be able to produce new fertilizer or farming techniques from those experiments
>total bean production now explodes to the rich farmers producing 1,000 beans each and average farmers producing 250
The only thing that actually increases the aggregate economic value is new technology, and you kneecap innovation when you waste too much on gibs
>>18154592
>You literally need taxes to do anything in a functioning state
As a private individual who is not part of the state, I do not want the state to do any more than the bare minimum necessary.

Almost all those business interests want to cut down the competition, cuck regulation to suit their interests and basically rent-seek the American consumer to death.

Don't move the goalpost you pathetic imbecile.
What YOU have invented which would entitle you to ANY wealth created by others.
It isn't about money but about goods and inventions you benefit from. That was the pint from the beginning but you morons only see the "mooneeey".
>>
>>18154858
>Don't move the goalpost you pathetic imbecile.
How has a goalpost been moved? The thread topic is about trickle down economics and the goalpost moving argument was that inventions allow wealth to trickled down from families like Rothchilds to the average poor person, so how much wealth have those inventions generated for people who aren't Rothschilds in trickle down theory instead of just being mechanisms that allow them to hoard and fortify their own personal fortunes?
>>

Kek idiot. Your quality of life has improved because of other people's inventions.

But rich people aren't the ones inventing most things and even the ones you cited they were all just co-inventors and didn't actually get the full credit since all they contributed was money that was offset by government subsidies and enabled by publicly funded research.

There haven't been breadlines since the 1980s when the governments were collapsing because of foreign interference. Meanwhile just last year there were egglines in america because of inflation and lack of supply and hardly anyone can afford proper healthcare.

Yeah, they frequently keep their laborers in a barracks on the jobsite and don't allow them to leave. Have you heard about Foxconn? They have permanent suicide nets around the building because so many of their slave laborers kill themselves.

Foxconn makes electronic components that are in most phones and most video game consoles. Without Foxconn a good portion of our electrical devices would cease to exist. Well, they're constantly leaving messages in the boxes of their products and hidden in the devices they make, they usually say "please help us".

You really think that's a good labor model for our country. I'll spoil your fantasies for you, if this came to pass, you wouldn't be the one holding the whip.

You seem to be jealous about money. In a market economy, money is just the equivalence of services provided for the consumers. It's a measure of one's contribution. If you contribute "a lot" (you create a lot of jobs for example - Rotschilds probably employ millions of workers; although fuck you if you want me to check this) then you get "a lot" of money in return. Leftists whining about money are missing this point. People who actually run the economy _already_ contribute by doing this; if you'd take money from them you would de facto force them to contribute without compensation.
Now, in the real world there are countless ways to abuse this mechanism and "earn" money without contributing much; or at all. Focus on fixing this, but NOT on screaming about "wealth" and "wealthy" in general. They could only be replaced by bureaucrats which are infinitely worse at this task; if only because their personally risk nothing for failing.
>>
>>18154953
>You seem to be jealous about money
No I seem to be trying to see if wealth actually trickles down like trickled down economics predicts and you are just butthurt you can't prove such a thing actually occurs since the top 1% tends to hoard far more wealth than they give to poor people.

>It's a measure of one's contribution
Yes which is why you have no way to actually measure your intuited claims since rich people don't actually trickle the money they are given down the line as trickle down economics predicts.

>you would de facto force them to contribute without compensation.
That is the point of trickle down, that the top earners use their wealth to enrich others instead of just leveraging it for their own future compensation.

>Now, in the real world there are countless ways to abuse this mechanism and "earn" money without contributing much
And we know this for an absolute fact because rich people tend to exploit those countless abuses instead of enriching poor people down line like with every pyramid scheme and ponzi scheme ever.
>>
>>18154944
Moving billion people out of poverty is the benefit.
Similarly, the same model happened in the west early on during industrial revolution. Hundreds of millions were lifted out of eternal poverty. The cost of doing work is always there, you either dont do any work and die a slow death (decadent death) or do plenty of work, reap plenty of rewards for your future and future generation.
>>
>>18154969
Moron.
Wealth isn't money.
Wealth trickles down.
>>
>>18154975
Sure, the reason a large portion of the population can't even afford proper health insurance or to take vacations is because so much wealth has trickled down to them that they don't even have time to be healthy or happy.

>what went wrong
the theory that the "rich" would share the wealth was always a retarded fantasy.

The whole point of high taxes (95% tax) on income earned over a million per year was to make it pointless to earn more than that, which does cause the wealth to get spread around.
>>

It's because of government monopolizing business and turning the current economic system into an abomination resembling the medieval guilds.
Make no mistake, the current economic system is absolutely abhorrent. BUT - YOUR proposed solution would only make it worse as you are barking up the entirely wrong tree. In fact you are SUPPORTING all current abnormalities with you actions.
