8. Your represen. is unconvinced/ a QUICK answer for him
He/she says,

"Rollback taxcuts for the rich? But we must have taxcuts for trickledown to be a massive engine to kick the economy into overdrive and bring more of today's workers' paradise that you are enjoying"

A. Wages lower now than '80. {adjusted for inflation}. Trickledown is a flop. Hoover's trickledown caused the Great Depression.

==================================

"but how then do we spark the economy?"

A. The real economy is measured by the middle class's income. Raise that by ending the runaway factories.. NAFTA.. and ending outsourcing to Asia. Then end all joblessness by a new WPA, share-the-work, and new co-ops. {see sig}. When none are jobless, the total income of the middle class will obviously rise. Harnessing those now unharnessed will increase economic output.. the GDP. Keeping factories and tech jobs here will keep our tekkies skills from rusting, ensuring a US lead in hi tech.
