If trickle down doesn't work, how does trickle up work? I see trickle down working everyday. I live in a middle class neighborhood. The yards are often overgrown and on occasion you see an old man pushing a beat up lawn mower up a hill. Contractors drive right by knowing full well they are not going to make money in this neighborhood. Where do these contractors and landscapers find work? In upscale gated communities with two income earners making upwards of quarter million. Oh, another one. Remember the luxury tax and boat builders?
ps
I do not need a lecture from Krugman why it doesn't work. I trust my life experiences more.
Well yeah, you're right about one thing. Supply side practices and the resulting income disparities do create more low paying jobs than middle class jobs, that's for sure. And kill the middle class, as you seem to be saying. So, yeah...
