Agreed trickle down does not work. We have a long history to look at as to what works and what does not. Resoundingly voodoo economics has failed. We don't just need to raise taxes on Americans. What we need to do is raise taxes on foreigners. Bring back the tariff system that the founding fathers establish that existed all the way till Reagan started to dismantle them and Clintoon put on steroids with NAFTA.
