The rich get rich by taking money from the poor, and it never trickles back down. They never give it to \u2019em, they never donate it, they never hire \u2019em, whatever, they never give it to \u2019em.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And of course that\u2019s not what trickle-down is.&nbsp; Trickle-down is you go to the hardware store to buy a chain saw to go out and cut down some wood to use for your fireplace, that\u2019s trickle-down.&nbsp; Everybody benefits from your decision to buy the chain saw.&nbsp; Trickles down, your purchase trickles down.&nbsp; Trickle-down is economic commerce, and the more of it the better.&nbsp; And since the rich spend money, too, there\u2019s really a lot of trickle-down from them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, no, no, no, no.&nbsp; Not according to the Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, you name it, trickle-down is the rich stealing as much money as they can, getting richer, and then not giving it to anybody.&nbsp; Now, at the root of all this, as it always is, is money.&nbsp; No matter what anybody tells you, at the root of all this is economics and the fact that there is poverty and that people are poor, while others aren\u2019t.&nbsp; And the Democrat Party has been exploiting that and teaching the wrong lessons for as long as I\u2019ve been alive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The evidence is abundant right in front of us.&nbsp; We live in an absolute economic disaster given that we are the United States of America.&nbsp; The unemployment rate\u2019s not 5%.&nbsp; It\u2019s 23%.&nbsp; There are 94 million Americans not working.&nbsp; There is massive inflation, yet we\u2019re told there isn\u2019t any.&nbsp; If you don\u2019t think there\u2019s inflation, compare what you buy today to what you paid for it five years ago or last year.&nbsp; There is inflation.&nbsp; But officially the inflation rate is zero.&nbsp; Not true.&nbsp; Because the inflation rate is zero, banks aren\u2019t lending any money because they say they can\u2019t.&nbsp; Now we talk about interest rates where you\u2019re gonna have to pay the bank for keeping your money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_126289\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Milwaukee-rioter-Taught-Lies.jpg\" align=\"middle\">The Federal Reserve has printed $5 trillion, and it\u2019s all gone to Wall Street, hoping for trickle-down, yeah, from Wall Street to Main Street.&nbsp; Hasn\u2019t happened because that\u2019s top down or bottom up and that\u2019s not how trickle-down actually works when you involve Wall Street in the mix.&nbsp; But the point is, while people are being told there\u2019s an economic recovery going on, there isn\u2019t.&nbsp; But these dummkopfs, they believe it, they know nothing better.&nbsp; They already think trickle-down\u2019s something that it isn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the same time they hear this great recovery, they hear Obama talk about it, Hillary talk about it, they hear Biden talk about it.&nbsp; &#8220;Yeah, it could be better and we\u2019re gonna make it better,&#8221; but there\u2019s all these new jobs being created, except these people don\u2019t have \u2019em. And all this money is being made and all this wealth, these houses, you can\u2019t afford to buy a house anymore, it\u2019s so expensive, these people can\u2019t.&nbsp; So all around \u2019em is evidence of economic growth when there really isn\u2019t any because primarily they\u2019re being told it.&nbsp; They don\u2019t have any, and they haven\u2019t been told, they don\u2019t know how to measure on their own economic activity. They\u2019re totally prisoners to whatever the government tells the media and the media tells them.&nbsp; They have been trained to smirk at work, the concept of work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s part of the rigged system, because only favorites get the good paying jobs, in their world.&nbsp; So there\u2019s nothing legit about the US economy.&nbsp; So the only hope they\u2019ve got is for the federal government and state government being Santa Claus.&nbsp; Well, of course, the federal government can\u2019t be Santa Claus and make everybody rich.&nbsp; We\u2019re already $20 trillion in debt and counting.&nbsp; The government isn\u2019t making anybody rich with handouts, with welfare, no matter how you count it unless you want to talk about the relatively few cases of people exploiting welfare, fraudulently and making a living out of that.<\/p>\n<p>But these people, I actually feel sorry for \u2019em.&nbsp; They have been lied to their whole lives about the lack of opportunity in America.&nbsp; The game is rigged against them, it\u2019s all stacked, largely because they\u2019re black, they\u2019re told.&nbsp; Or because they\u2019re minorities.&nbsp; So they\u2019re seething with rage out there, and that\u2019s fomented as well.&nbsp; There are real-world reasons for this disparity in income, and it has nothing to do with capitalism.&nbsp; It has everything to do with socialism and the false promise and the liars who make up the leaders in a socialistic government or enterprise.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is exactly how the left has distorted the definition of what trickle-down economics is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":397902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
