I see people complain that tax cuts only help the rich, forgetting that this means the middle/working class keeps more money and get products for less

They also seem to forget that the rich don't pay tax anyway, the middle class pay for most of it. Whenever you tax a corporation, they will just cover that by increasing the cost of their products. The middle and working class then have to pay for this more expensive product with an income even less and they will also be taxed more.
Rather than deciding who we need to steal money from, I think there should be some sort of financial education and independence courses in school. With things like how to leverage debt, how to grow you own food, and how to not pay taxes. Oh, but then if we can create our own wealth, we won't be dependent on socialism.

So you imagine that if the rich keep more money, then the middle and working classes magically have more? This is the essence of "trickle down economics" and history has proved that it is barely effective, if at all. Maybe go back to Economics 101.

@pattycakechamp Haha I see anons on here telling me about how I must not know basic economics. I've built several massively profitable companies starting from less than minimum wage. Have you built several companies?

@lynncelestial I own literally hundreds and make trillions a year, filthy peasant.

lynncelestial · 31-35, F

@pattycakechamp You honestly make trillions a year?

pattycakechamp · 26-30, F

@lynncelestial So many trillions. And I started with nothing but making 50 cents a day.

lynncelestial · 31-35, F

@pattycakechamp Right, so you don't have any companies and you wish to lecture me on Economics 101.

@lynncelestial I never saw a poor person create jobs

@sunsporter1649 What even is your point?

pattycakechamp · 26-30, F

@sunsporter1649 We gotta let this troll post die.

@pattycakechamp Shh, let them fight.

@pattycakechamp You do realise, the middle class are taxed a massive amount, right? And if they are taxed less, they have more money to invest..right? And if the companies they consume from have less taxes put into the prices, they can afford to consume more things..right?

pattycakechamp · 26-30, F

@lynncelestial Trickle. Down. Economics. That's the theory in a nutshell. It hasn't worked so far outside of extremely isolated incidents. "give the rich more, they'll share!"

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@pattycakechamp You telling me the poor create jobs and spread wealth?

pattycakechamp · 26-30, F

@sunsporter1649 I'm saying giving the rich more doesn't do that either. It was an experiment, not a cure. Otherwise we'd have 100% employment by now.

lynncelestial · 31-35, F

@pattycakechamp Yeah... I can see why you don't really run any companies...

pattycakechamp · 26-30, F

@lynncelestial Ah, I touched the troll post. I forgot how many rich company owners waste time on sw. You two have fun.

@sunsporter1649 Demand drives economic growth. When the average person has more to spend, the economy booms.

@pattycakechamp If you believe this post is a troll, by all means don't waste your time replying.
