Even if the article were true, I still believe in 'bubble up' rather than 'trickle down'.
If you transfer money to the poor, then tend to be happier and thus cause less social problems (e.g. less crime, fewer beggars, etc.). The rich can afford it. Soak 'em :-)
- nazgulnarsil 18y agowhat is this garbage? the poor tend to be happy when you give them money? you have zero basis for this. people tend to be happy when they earn success. people who are given money tend to be unsatisfied and lazy.
- anaphoric 18y agoI said 'happier'. Besides what you do is not give (so much) money to the poor and middle class, but rather tax them less and tax the rich much more. The poor and middle will be happier as they keep more of their earnings and the rich, well, they will be alright.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agowell of course the bottom 5th income wise shouldn't pay tax as they contribute less than 1% of tax revenue and receive on average much more in government aid than they pay in taxes. seems like a silly little loop for the money to go in when you could just not tax them. warren buffet has advocated this program.
