Do poor conservative United States Citizens really believe that the Trickle down from the rich works?
I’m sure there is a way that it does work, the way that it doesn’t work is to simply have the central bank print the deficit money, the already rich benefit from this because they get to spend the money first while it retains it’s value, and the poor suffer because their meager savings lose value, so it’s a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, it’s a tax, so, my view is that Laissez-faire Capitalism would work if there was no central banking (or fractional reserve banking which central banks are designed to enable), and corporate crime was intensely policed.
I suppose a lot do actually believe in it, as illustrated by the answers to this question. Remember, conservatives generally get all of their ‘information’ from conservative propaganda outlets, so they’d have no way of finding out how inaccurate their beliefs are. One thing you will never see on Fox News is the graph below that shows clearly just how effective trickle down economics is: in the past 100 years, inequality has peaked two times: just before the Great Depression and before the 2008 Crash. So yes, trickle down works extremely well – provided that what you’re trying to do is wreck the economy.
