They don't say that outright ... but nearly all Republicans are required to march lock step with the economic theory known as Trickle Down.

+don't fear things that you don't understand. research. become knowledgeable.
+what are the things that build wealth: mining manufacturing and farming. and banking.
Trickle Down Economics ... first mentioned by Ronald Reagan ... this economic theory is Clear ... give ever more money to those who already have the MOST money ... the wealthiest ... and HOPEFULLY ... excess money will 'Trickle Down' to the Middle Classes.
+there is no such thing as 'excess money'. if you put it in a bank, it goes right back out the door as captal for others to use - at a fee.
Not only is this a Morally Vacant economic theory ... it simply does not work.
+you know not of what you speak. wouldyou prefer mercantilism, or should we just go back to barter?
The ONLY thing Trickle Down Economic theory does is support the concept of WEALTH TRANSFER.
Wealthy Transfer from the Middle Class (in the form of taxes they have paid) to the very wealthiest Americans ... who already pay a smaller percentage of taxes than the middle classes.
+ummmm, no the top 10% of all earners pay 70 % of all income taxes. so what in fact are you talking about?
John McCain SUPPORTS Trickle Down Economics.
+if you had half a brain, you'd already have hit the delete key.
John McCain has stated that he will give MORE tax rebates to the wealthiest.
+no. rebates? the 'wealthy' didn't get any rebates last time. they paid for you to get yours. nuh uh. the richest would pay less than they are currently paying under Bush's current tax schedule. and way less if you consider that O has singled them out to pay for his money spending schemes
John McCain is such a doddering old fool - (as you yourself have said, OmegaTomato)<.i> ... he cannot see that 40 years of Trickle Down Economics produce failure.
+its just plain economics. there is no such thing as a 'trickle down economics.'
Look, Unlimited Welfare without accountability DOES NOT WORK.
+ WTF? from nothing springs intelligence?
John McCain supports Welfare for the Wealthy ... and THAT'S what will lead to McCain's downfall.
+dOHHHHH!!!! if you had the tiniest clue as to what you were saying you wouldn't embarass yourself so.
And if McCain is elected president ... (God Forbid) ... his outdated and discredited economic theories will lead to the downfall of American Capitalism.
+oh brother.
I pray to God that this poor old man with outdated ideas does not become our president ... for the love of our nation.
+stop drinkiing the koolaid. you've been had. you're spouting ignorance and untruth.-

um...there is such a thing as the "tricle down theory" of economics. It does exist. Reagan did tout it. And Bush the first followed it too. Bush the second tried to revive it and that is the failure of the economy we are currently living through.

And you could lose that snotty tone in your posts. If you are going to debate someone and convert them to your way of thinking, try using words that don't demean the person you are trying to get on your side.-

I like candidates who walk the talk:

Obama says: Despite decades of progress, women still make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Throughout his career, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have championed the right of women to receive equal pay for equal work.
Unfortunately his own campaign staff represents the 77 cents on the dollar for women pay scale. -

its an obvious corollary of just plain old macroeconomics. post keynesian macroeconomics....
Reply
the current macro is politically packaged as 'trickle down economics' to be used as a buzz word.
long story short, macroeconomics stands on its record. the democratic plan esentially throws it out the window. at everyone's peril!
with regard to my tone, yeah, it is snotty. if there was balanced - i don't even care if its fair - discussion of the issues, i'm there...
being nice to thick people is a waste of everyone's time. you can be nice to a recalcitrant donkey, but it gets you nowhere. once you crack it in the skull with a 2X4 at least you have its attention.
do i have your attention yet? : )-

No thanks. I don't need to read such aggressive drivel from a person who believes that their own perspicacity gives them the right to insult people who don't share their political affiliation. Parties don't rule our country, people do. And I personally don't care for the character of Mr. McCain. And I haven't been happy with the job that Mr. Bush has done and the things that have been done in the name of "freedom" to both this nation and the world stage. McCain is the continuation of Bush's policies.

As you insinuated, teaching a pig to talk only annoys the pig.
I'm done with your speech lesson.
