No economic boom since we know trickle down doesn't work (#3401)

     If republicans and trump are relying on a booming economy to lead them to election victory they will be sorely disappointed. This idea of trickle down economics has been tried before and failed miserably and so will this latest iteration by republicans. They give the wealthy even more money and expect them to spend it on growing our economy. Well, like last time the wealthy just put the money away in some protected offshore accounts and instead of invigorating our economy republicans have actually shrunk our economy by allowing the wealthy to take even more money out of circulation. Remember that there are a fixed amount of dollars and if more of the dollars are being held in banks offshore the less there is circulating here in America.
     The idea is simple and yet republicans don't seem to be able to get it or they get it and have some other ulterior motive in their strategy that wants fewer dollars in circulation as a means to harm the working middle poor class. It is my contention that it they know and are lying to everyone about why they want to restrict the economy by allowing the wealthy more money to put away in foreign banks. But try as I may to let our electorate know there are still those republican voters who cannot believe such a thing is true despite all the evidence in the world to prove it. There is just another example of the cognitive dissonance they prefer in order to maintain the narrative in their head that satisfies their own personal beliefs and prejudices.
     So off we Americans go again toward a recession or depression, depending on how quickly we can reverse the republican rule in our political representation. American voters are to blame for this coming about because in our comfort we were asleep at the wheel as republicans navigated us into this. What is even worse now is that we are not driving any more, republicans are. So the ending of this nightmarish journey begins when we the American electorate wake up from our slumber and reactivate our involved citizenship. We must all vote for upholding our constitution while bringing about policies that actually benefit the majority of us Americans who are the bulk of the working middle poor class. Only then will our economy begin to again be driven by the heart and soul of our nation.
