    It’s true that Reagan’s Trickle-Down was a revival of Harding’s Horse & Sparrow, but that doesn’t affect my point.

    We’ve proven it doesn’t work. The correct solution is to redistribute and try a different method to check capitalism.

      Oh for sure. I wasn’t advocating for it!

      But it does change the point in your messaging. To call it “an experiment” gives it a quality of transience, whereas establishing the actual history of the methodology allows people to understand the scope and magnitude of how long and deeply the masses have been bamboozled.

        That’s fair.

        Regardless, Trump’s solution of bringing back Reagan’s first economic plan, Voodoo Economics, will drive inequality even faster than Trickle-Down.
