I don't see why giving poor people direct cash transfers requires 100% effectiveness when giving wealthy people tax cuts on the off-chance it will trickle down

I don't see why giving poor people direct cash transfers requires 100% effectiveness when giving wealthy people tax cuts on the off-chance it will trickle down is considered dogma.

No one considers that dogma. No one even takes it seriously. It's a smokescreen for returning big donors' investment in political campaigns, and for the belief that corporate profits inflate the economy.

  No one considers it? Did you miss the giant tax code overhaul that was based on this? It's economic orthodoxy in the US government and corporate sector.
