"Republicans still trying to pretend Trickle Down your leg economics works again! It didn't work under Reagan, Bush or Trump so we can conclude it does npt fu**ing work! Never did, never will work! But the GQP still tries to pretend it does when they absolutely know it does not."

I'd love to know what your measure of success is. America is still the top economy. America is still where MILLIONS are trying to migrate to. America is still where non-millionaires become millionaires (by the MILLIONS every year, btw). America is still the leader in many international forums. America is still the wealthiest nation.

So, what does "Never did, never will work!" mean to you? Now, I'm not saying it is the best system. I'm not saying it's what will lead us to the promised land. But, it does work. And we are a shining example of that. It's not trickle-down economics that doesn't work, it's the abuse of it that causes the problems.

And before you try to call out bias, know that this response is very similar to what I tell people about Socialism. I have some very right leaning friends who say that Socialism doesn't work. That it has too many negatives. And my response is always, "What doesn't work? There are many civilized, industrial nations under Socialism and they are doing fine." And their response is always then met with, "It's not Socialism that doesn't work, it's the abuse of it that causes the problems" because that's what every model always comes down to.

If someone knows a better way, by all means please spread it across the country. Problem is, there are no "better" alternatives. There are just other alternatives that provide some positives to our negatives but introduce negatives of its own. For example, the people of those Socialist countries aren't sitting back and enjoying lives free of government bureaucracy, they are fighting problems that result because of Socialism. No matter what system we go to, especially these days, the focus will always be on how bad we are because nothing is perfect. Add in partisan ideology and it exponentially increases the pain points.
