> That used to be different. But that was before trickle down economics... Right. Like in the era of Kennedys, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Du Ponts, the Fords, the Lehmans, and countless other old, wealthy families. They all got rich during the Reagan years. Or, are you referring to the "new" money of the Gates and Zuckerberg crew? Which family money do you attribute to "trickle down", specifically? Your comment is simply a lie. Maybe you didn't create the lie but you are hear repeating it as though it were truth. The reality is that there is very little that can be done to prevent successful people, who want to accumulate wealth, from doing so -- without devastating the economy. Because it is the incentive to succeed and to accumulate wealth that creates economic prosperity. And everyone fucking knows it. Even liberals know it.
