Tax cuts for the wealthy only benefit the rich: debunking trickle-down economics

I don't think people voted for Trump because he promised tax cuts for the rich. I think it was the other stuff like building a wall and appointing anti abortion judges to the Supreme Court.

I hope no one other than a strange fringe minority believes in trickle down. I haven't seen it argued often. I think most people agree that tax schemes favoring the rich are unfair

If only a strange fringe minority believes in trickle down, it’s a strange fringe minority that includes a substantial proportion of the parliamentary Conservative Party, and large numbers of elected Republicans.

Or they did, because the people to benefit from those tax cuts happen to own the media and pushed the very anti-abortion and xenophobic ideas that got him elected...
