If supply-side trickle-down economics is so effective...

why is the person commonly referred to as Baby-trump considering/not considering/considering/not considering payroll taxes that bypass the supply side and puts money directly in the hands of workers?

Ive been waiting on my trickle from Reaganomics in the 80s. The Trickle goes up, not down. If anyone thinks the tax cut for the wealthy is somehow going to magically appear in your paychecks, you need to take Econ again. The wealthy dont even want to pay their share for infrastructure that they use for free and make tons of money from. They cut perks to jobs and now we do the job of 5 ppl for one paycheck. And thats not going to change. Right to Work laws sound great phonetically but actually means they can fire you without reason. Women fought hard to stop discrimination to work while pregnant & pregnant & single. (I had a job. Then when asked what days Id need off (this was June) i said the following Feb Id just need my 6 week maternity leave. I was told then the job offer was no longer on the table. This was late 80s. The Freedom Caucus lead by Mike Pence wants women out of the workforce. My job on the John Gregg for IN Gov against Mike Pence was to go to his speeches. He said women rui ed the family unit by working. Yet no high paying jobs for men are around. Many women have kids on their own and need jobs to provide. Its a vicious cycle. We are supposed to raise our kids, not have help because that makes us lazy, but are discriminated against in the workplace. Once they start holding men as accountable for children I guarantee job wage stagnation for men will change.
Just some of my thoughts.
