American Chopper explains trickle down economics

Trickle down is really trickle on.

So I guess all the jobs they create mean nothing?

Thought so.

They dont create jobs. Their customers who pay them do. No customers no jobs, no ceo? no big deal there are plenty of others.

No business owners, no jobs. No jobs, no one spending money. That's how it works. You don't spend money when the government is taking most of it and you don't spend money when you aren't getting paid.

Btw, who owns GE? Apple? Boing? American Airlines? etc etc etc.

Really? so people cant employ themselves? dont know what world you are living in.

What fantasy world do you live in where everyone employs themselves? What the hell? You're straight retarded.

Not being a smart ass or trying to insult you, but have ever even taken just 1 business class in your life?

Not everyone has the ability to employ themselves.

And it's absurd to think millionaires and billionaires don't get taxed ridiculous amounts. The idea they just sit there and keep their money is absurd. And what they do with their money is none of my business. It's their money.

And to answer your question, yes I have taken a some classes in business, but it would have never worked out for me.

Well, not only did I take classes, started and ran and sold more than one business. Its not a question, rich folks are not job creators, their customers who pay them are. Its not complicated. Companies used to provide pensions, and insurance. Now they provide the c suite with golden parachutes even when they fail.

Here is a little tidbit for you, and the world did not end then.

The top marginal tax rate in 1960 was 91%, which applied to income over $200,000 (for single filers) or $400,000 (for married filers) – thresholds which correspond to approximately $1.5 million and $3 million, respectively, in today's dollars. Approximately 0.00235% of households had income taxed at the top rate

and another tidbit -

2018 Self-Employment Statistics In The US. According to recent federal self-employment statistics nearly 27 million Americans will leave their full-time jobs from 2017-2020, bringing the total number of self-employed individuals to 42,000,000 in the U.S. alone.Jun 7, 2018

Im all for cutting spending, but not on the people.

The bezos's, buffetts, waltons, etc etc, can more than afford to make up the difference, people that work for a living should not have to, and by 'work' i mean folks who do not net 1,000,000 per month or more.

Of every dollar taxpayers pay in income taxes, 24¢ goes to the military – but only 4.8¢ goes to our troops in the form of pay, housing allowances and other benefits (excluding healthcare). Out of the 24¢ on the dollar that taxpayers contribute to military spending, 12¢ goes to military contractors.
