What's wrong with trickle UP economics?

Shhhhh....You're making sense! TPTB will now have to, um well...keep you quiet!

It seems to me that trickle up economics would benefit the economy better than trickle down economics.

Corporate greed is purely self serving. Oh, what, we get jobs out of it? Thanks for the wage slave status. Any extra money that corporations get is tucked away, hidden, sent to other countries, given to a few elite executives in large bonuses, ect. It's not trickling down.

Consumer greed on the other hand would benefit every aspect of our economy. Consumer greed means Americans will spend, save, and invest any extra money that they have putting cash into every major industry that is currently hurting. Trickling up seems alot more all-encompassing and a better idea all around.

Agreed! Trickle down economics has offically died with W at the helm. It was a good idea in theory, but only truely benefitted one class of people, created wedges and disparity and ultimately broke the back of the economy. It's time to grow the middle class and elevate the poor.

There will still be more money for the financial titans of the world, but it is time to make wealth more accessable to average people and not just the most fortuante memebers of our society.

trickle up????.... no, no, no we cant have that.... after all, the builders of "mega-yachts", ferrarri, porsche, rolls-royce, caviar importers, and dressage stables could be affected.... polo is very important to our economy....

Very soon now, if not already, the elite capitalist power brokers are going to find themselves in an indefensible position.

We are no longer fooled by their illusory superiority.

The one thing people are scared most of is freedom.

The idea of capitalism is to encourage people to work for themselves, acquire property, be a responsible citizen instead of a lazy, passive serf.

LOL

Who creates the jobs in trickle up economics?


The "People"?


Good luck with that.


Works real well in China, eh?

I think I'm referring to the current "bail out" system we have going on. It's not going to do a GD thing for the economy. And then everyone is going to lose their jobs anyway.

Probably true. Not that barely concealed Marxism is going to solve problems either. Giving wealth to people who cannot handle it is like pouring water into sand. You never run out of dry parched sand, but pretty soon you do run out of water.

Agreed that trickle down is BS, but trickle up is also such.

A desire exists to give people something for nothing. Social engineering does not work.

We need fairer business practices and oversight on corporate behavior.
