You can add to that the democrats' ability to get away with referring to "trickle down" economics as a failure (even though this principle is the essence of capitalism) without so much of a peep out of the republicans. The same goes for supply side economics, budget cuts, etc. Last night Larry Kudlow on his new show with that idiot Cramer on CNBC let bigmouth Charles Wrangel (a four-star commie) go on and on with his bashing of trickle-down economics and Larry, who should know better, responded by going off on some weird tangent. This is so typical of the republicans. They let the democrats get away with a big lie like this and after a few years terms like "tickle down" economics become a dirty word in the public’s mind. The irony being that most Americans, especially those that risk capital to start a business, are the generators of wealth and trickle down economics. Their own paychecks are the direct result of trickle down economics. It just sickens me to see the democrats continually lie and misrepresent the very economics our country depends on to create wealth and spur innovation. But no, most republicans are too afraid of defending these principles because the democrats might call them selfish or greedy. What an upside down world we live in these days.
