I mean, from my vantage point, it seems like trickle down is a myth except under certain circumstances.

Any company or wealthy individual worth their salt will have things set up that there's nothing to trickle down.

Trickle up sure isn't.

Doesn't matter what form of economic system we use, the money always ends up in the same places with the same people. Neither party want's this to change.

The real key is monetary velocity and too much of that is tied up in secondary markets. Eliminate those (and I'm not saying that's possible) and I think we'd see a much healthier economy.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter who you vote for. At all. The popular vote doesn't elect the president, and the electors in the college vote for whomever they want. And they have. Faithless electors they're called, and they've broken from their respective populous over 150 times since the college's inception.

So, again... voting is merely the illusion of choice.

It's pretty simple really. Vote Democrat if you want more Socialism. Vote Republican if you want more free market Capitalism.

Here comes the liberal hive mind, with no real world experience to speak of but plenty of tripe they gleaned from some liberal professor who couldn't avoid projecting their personal agenda in the classroom on young impressionable minds.

Check the email forwards from your racist uncle to find out.

Pretty damn racist. Minorities aren't the only ones on welfare.

I'm the oldest of 9 kids. Whole family is conservative and votes Republican, too.

Let's beware the blanket statements, por favor.
Feel free to add Billy Jack to the list then. Plenty in Eastern Kentucky just as guilty.

Oh you do? Good. So you'll be paying my bills for me then in accordance with your beliefs? I appreciate it.

So you don't want to say what you do for a living? I'm genuinely curious.

Not a bit. A few of the things you claimed in your rant have been debunked. Nixon nor Bush attended the funerals you mentioned, and it was Chris Christie that ordered flags flown at half staff. The same Christie that has been stumping for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.

It's pretty easy to fact check forwarded emails you get from your racist uncle.
