Why Trickledown Economics Does Not Work

And we still send them financial aid and help them militarily when they need help against rogue terror groups targeting them. FFS. We are to nice.

But we do this to prop up, protect, and build/expand the global market. When the global market does well America does well. That's what it comes down too. That's why we do all of this charity work for nations around the world. It pays and investment comes back ten fold to help build up the global market.

More trade and more people trading in America dollars in the global market is the only real goal for US military/civil policy and has been for a hundred years.

"When the global market does well America does well. That's what it comes down too"
That sounds like trickledown economics to me.

No... trickle down economics has to deal with giving tax cuts to big corporations & rich people naively and stupidly thinking that rich corporations & rich people are going to invest the money on employees or the company. But in reality all that extra money the rich get from tax cuts go 100% to them personally & not anywhere else but themselves, not the employees, not anything else but themselves.

It's been proven and pretty clear to most. I also know this first hand because when I get tax cuts for my bracket I do not spend the extra money on my business, employees, or anything else. I put the extra money into my savings account. Well I give myself bonuses through my company and pocket the extra money from tax cuts JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

So don't anyone here tell me tax cuts for rich work AKA trickle down economics. It doesn't and never has. I'm deathly afraid there will soon be a class revolt in America where the lower & middle classes rise up and pillage the rich if continues. But if the government keeps giving me free money through tax cuts I'm still going to take the money because everyone else is.
