The national opinion poll also found that Republican voters were divided over the "trickle-down economics" championed by their party's leaders since President Ronald Reagan some 40 years ago.

Liberty.

That is the fundamental ideal upon which the Republic was founded.

It was, is, and always will be the surest guarantor of prosperity.

“Never been truly tried” is a line about communism.

Yeah. Trickle up is always better.~sarc Reward the lazy slacker a-holes by taking money out of the producers hands. Everything is a “right” now to these m-fers. Nobody has a right to anything that has to be paid for by someone else.

I can guarantee you trickle up economics doesn’t work.

Our moron of a president will tax the rich and watch the inflation sky rocket.

Only proof that a dishonest and agenda driven media DOES work.

SO much that a majority doesn’t understand basic economics.

The alternative is Socialism. Let’s poll how well that has worked throughout history

“Many”

Not most. Not a majority. Just “many”. Twelve is “Many”.

The alternative that they want to use is government distribution of wealth using race and other identity measures.

As long as a majority of voters are satisfied with the government crumbs they receive we are doomed.
