What a fukkkking joke, I guess you believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and "Trickle Down" as if they are real things that actually exist?
YOU believe in "Trickle Down" from the Govt. "Trickle Down" from the private sector has proven to work many times more efficiently. Believing that we should give it all to the govt so they can "properly" distribute it, THE LIBERAL BELIEF, is as blatantly stupid as it is possible to be. It just doesn't get dumber than that!
At least it will be distributed and SOMETHING will be created. Under Supply side trickle down, the trickle down is voluntary, nobody is obligated to invest to create jobs. So it makes sense to find an investment that will grow your money without creating any jobs. Ever since trickle down became the predominant theory, it's been all down hill for the middle class, it hasn't worked, if it worked why aren't we awash with the jobs that have been created from the Bush tax Cuts the last ten years? Oh yeah... because it deosn't work... people get tax cuts, the vast majority DON'T create jobs and just pocket the money... it's a failure.
The scary part is that some Americans actually believe the nonsense posted on this thread! Seriously, why all the fear mongering? No faith in your candidate?
Plan on a life of abject failure for yourself. Employers do very much want to pay good employees every cent that they are worth. I can tell you after having been an employer for 40 years, that business is more about employees than any other single issue. If having and keeping good employees was EASY, EVERYONE would be a businessman. Supply costs go up and you need to increase prices. Your own employees are a major factor. Want to bring in a new product line? Your own employees are a major factor. Want to improve/change production methods? Your own employees are a major factor. Want to move to a better facility? your own employees are a major factor. Your own employees ARE a major factor, in everything, and finding, hiring, and paying, and keeping good employees is one of the hardest jobs in business. With your attitude, you wouldn't understand because I'm talking about GOOD employees. Poor employees were dumped like they never existed.
For a 32 year old guy from Scotland, you're pretty good at regurgitating US lib talking points. But tell me, why this interest in US politics? Nothing interesting happening in Scotland??
