We get "blasted" by a lot of places. The democrats say they are for the working man and middle class, but obama/biden just came out and said they are going to have to raise taxes on the middle class 1 trillion dollars. Romney said he won't do that. Trickle down is how things work regardless of who is in office. It's not a theory or a political practice. It's actually how free market economics works. It's the only way that has ever proven to provide a thriving economy. The alternatives have all failed time and time again and led to immediately declining economies. socialism assumes that those whose wealth is completely stolen, will continue to work to provide that wealth. They don't. If you receive the same compensation for doing nothing as you do for working, why would you work? That's why Capitalism is the only way to prosperity. Anyone saying anything else is not being honest.
