How the world turns, by J Smithson, friend and citizen economist; a proud "trickle down" proponent.

Its easy being cool when you own a man's bike

Here is a complaint from the socialist dreamers on the Left:   "It's a big $ club, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and you Right Wing Wacko's think 'trickle down' is the key to prosperity."

As The World Turns 

by J Smithson

The complaint absolutely correct on both counts.  What the Left seems to be most pissed about, however, is the fact they are members of the same club and can't really think of another way to do it.  One of my most repeated, rhetorical themes, is this:    "Trickle down is the only way" we share in wealth,  unless you can come up with a really great,  money making,  idea.  

The truth in this ongoing debate is this:   The Marxist world of dreamers and schemers is pissed at folks who are making more money than they.  That is not a function of political savvy,  it is a function pure jealousy. 

The fact of the opening paragraph, at the top of this post,  above,  is this:  we are ALL are members of the same club.. 

I have asked this hundreds of times, of my Marxist pundit/friends,   over the years:   So if “trickle down” is not the only way to participate in our economy  (other than welfare),  what are you going to do differently,  than I did, as a hard working stiff?  

That question remains unanswered,  to this day.  Why,  because,  WHEN YOU STOP COMPLAINING LONG ENOUGH TO THINK ABOUT IT,  "trickle down" has no viable alternative.   

Hypocrisy abounds. 

and, the Left makes a living off demonizing Corporate America.  It (the Left) loves to document tax dodges, subsidies, and general abuses (like such does not exist in their Utopian World,  as well).  They sit around,  between free love sessions and hitting the bong, to make up names or titles they can easily demonize,  such as "trickle down,"  and, then,  pretend that socialism,  which they actually know nothing about  . . . .  while they pretend that socialism, with its millionaire, political class of elitist academics and theorist,  is a better idea.  

Nobody gets rich off subsidies (they love to call this "corporate welfare") . . . . . .  nobody,   and,   it is just plain stupid to pretend that the CEO's of this nation are rich because of federal payouts.  Some subsidies are completely unnecessary,  to be sure.  But milk subsidies,  for example,  keep our milk prices at historic lows,  compared to the rest of the world.    

While the Left is busy saving some stinking fish,  or flower,  or tortoise,   we have this food fact:  A year ago,  tri tip here in California (its a cut of beef,  my pot smoking friends),  sold at $2.80 a pound.  Yesterday,  my wife told me,  it was selling for more than $8.00 a pound  . . . . .  a $5.20 per pound increase in one year,  under and because of Obama's policies.  When Obama took over as our Over Lord,  gas was selling at $1.84 a gallon.  Two days ago,  I paid $4.42 a gallon and "regular" was selling at $4.09 per gallon. 

When your Marxist side of the aisle counts inflation,  it does not include food and fuel prices (transportation and residential),  but brags about what a great job they are doing "for the little guy."  

So food prices are going through the roof, but nobody in the Socialist camp cares;  heating fuel prices will punish the poor in the Northeast,  beginning this coming winter and nobody in the Socialist camp cares;  transportation costs are skyrocketing, driving the real cost of living up and up,  punishing the poor (again) and nobody in the Socialist camp cares.  Oil profits run 3 to 4 percent of the bottom line while  commie/pinko Green profits START at 10%.  More than half of all CEO's are Progressives - they are Friends of the Left, politically speaking - and they send as many jobs overseas as anyone,  use the tax code to keep their taxes down and accept just as many subsidies, as socialist One Worlders,  as the capitalist contingencies in Big Business. 

In the end,  you can live your life pissed at having to work for The Man  (per “trickle down”) or you can accept the glaring fact that YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.  Like I keep telling folks,  trickle down is the only way anyone,  in this world,  makes money.
