Both are too Keynesian. "People on the political left not only have their own view of the world, they have a view of the world which they insist on attributing to others, regardless of what those others actually say. A classic example is the "trickle down theory," which no one has ever advocated, but which the left insists on fighting against." --Thomas Sowell, Random thoughts, Mar 29, 2005

The current problems in America and Iraq are the unmoving, unrepentant Bush regime… Yes, I know Bush is a lefty. But Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rummy, Rice.. Don’t think so.. And none of them.. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence will accept blame, responsibility or change… In this topic.. In the face of history, facts and numbers.. You refuse to see. Then argue your beliefs.. With your opinion… The trickle down Theory advocates do hate the term.. But they must suffer their fate.. They invented and demonized the term… ‘’Trickle up theory’’ Tax cuts for the wealthy. Will always be referred to as trickle down theory. Welfare, ‘’Trickle up”. That’s not my fault…. I don’t suggest either.. I suggest a balance budget.. And investment in America.. Investment in America’s infrastructure. Not multinational companies… Am I the only Centrist Libertarian left on this board????
