You can argue the "purest" point all you want, but you are the only one discussing it.

We are looking at the results of what 3 out of the last 4 Presidents have practiced. Reagan started this with his "version" of trickle down economics. The small step taken toward full trickle down economics started the dwindling spiral we now call the National Debt. 11.5 trillion and counting. Brought to you in large part by the Republican Party and the push TOWARD trickle down economics.

If it really works, then even moving toward the pure system would have been positive. The numbers just don't show it.

I say, lower taxes for the middle class, which will eventually push up demand, and see how that does for the economy.

Because I know for a fact, as a middle class citizen, I watch every penny and spend less under the current system. My demand is down.
