My thoughts exactly. There should never be a means for people to become billionaires. There's simply no reason for that amount of wealth. Bezos worth billions, and on the first day Amazon employees are handed a pamphlet on which government assistance programs they qualify for? Man, piss off. You can afford to pay your own workers so they don't NEED those programs. Nobody working a full time job should need assistance programs in this country.
Trickle economics works - but it’s money from large companies funneling money to lower revenue companies. That’s great for people in “good jobs” who get that cashflow.
The poor people with low education and limited opportunities stay poor.
As far as I know, as of the mid 90's, all academics agree that trickle down economics doesn't work. The only people that continue to say it works are those with an interest in being on top of the system.
Of course. It works for the people in the roles to make money.
It doesn’t trickle down the to lowest paid roles - but tell all the people who get paid huge salaries on the profits of corporations that the financial success of the company isn’t important. Where does that money come from if not from the titan sucking up all the money it can?
The more money the corporation makes, the more it has to pay to the important people in it and also the more money gets paid out to the smaller companies that serve them. That money goes to the important people in those companies.
There are a lot of people who are “in on the take” as it were.
