Such policies have saddled the nation with a crushing debt that our great grandchildren will still be paying off (and their great grandchildren) all because of this voodoo economics fantasy.<BR/><BR/>The capitalism espoused by anti-regulation conservatives has created a marginalized yet massive middle class, and extraordinarily wealthy tiny upper class and a huge number of people living in poverty.<BR/><BR/>Thanks alot.Doppelgangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019994267093407424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20528115.post-80798809937219559872009-01-06T15:03:00.000-05:002009-01-06T15:03:00.000-05:00Trickle down economics probably need to be supplan...Trickle down economics probably need to be supplanted by total world-wide socialism...run by supercomputer.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe six years of free-for-all capitalism, and then one year of level-everything-spread-the-wealth socialism, followed by six years more of free market. (My favorite)<BR/><BR/>What a free market does is allow for accurate adjustment, but sometimes that adjustment takes place too fast, and there is some pain. Socialism, on the other hand, insures a lack of initiative and productivity over time, but at least it makes sure everyone is taken care of, including ppl who are marginalized or handicapped.<BR/><BR/>I am surprised you attack the free market so easily when the alternative has just as many drawbacks.brerjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998538267960968364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20528115.post-86613443285913766262008-12-12T01:58:00.000-05:002008-12-12T01:58:00.000-05:00The more republicans mention the trickle down econ...The more republicans mention the trickle down economic theory the more the people will realize it's the <I>Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Prosperity</I> modelGrung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.com
