I think only the very rich like "trickle down" because they're the ones that get to Trickle... Precisely. It has all sorts of advantages. They get first cut at any wealth generated. If they decide to not let it trickle down, sucks to be you! It cements their position as being superior to everyone else. It gives them control. What good sociopath would want anything different?

College grads living at home with mismatched skills one of the tragedies of this recovery.. Too many feel entitled, play the victim card and are lazy with eyes glued to 'smart' phones all day not doing much of anything smart while on it tweeting and playing video games and community organizing.. Couple that with ZIRP and sky high costs of housing and student debt most not ready to tackle the real world deluded into thinking the system owes them. Say Trump does do the right things to make America great again so we can rebuild our ghettos and our crumbling infrastructure but how many of the young people who are current US citizens out there today are willing and able to do the hard work? My guess is most of those who will do the hard work are Trump or Cruz supporters in the workforce. Another point we have very low rates and a very strong dollar which are big headwind to bringing back manufacturing jobs. Trump at least has the biggest upside by a substantial margin to getting this done
