Sen. Cory Gardner booed during southern Colorado town hall meeting

[TexasTowelie]

PUEBLO — Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner received boos and jeers while attempting to defend Republican efforts to rewrite the tax code.

The Pueblo Chieftain reports Gardner, at a town hall meeting in Pueblo on Monday, argued that President Barack Obama also wanted to cut taxes. He also reminded everyone President Donald Trump won the popular vote in Pueblo County.

The Colorado Republican told the crowd of about 150 people that cutting corporate taxes would lead to better wages and a stronger economy.

That caused some in attendance to boo and yell out that "trickle down" economics had failed during President Ronald Reagan's administration.

5. Watching Robert Reich's latest film on Netflix which touches on

this upward tornado of wealth transfer (by things like Tax cuts) from the lower 50% to the top 1% and how it has accelerated since Regan to where we're now on the verge of perhaps a permanent Oligarchy. Good to see Colorado is not obtuse about this.

Trickle-down always fails because it's a BS smokescreen.

Okay, DU can now return to the anti-Franken posts to fair & balance this awareness out for the troll set.

9. When has "trickle down" economics ever worked as advertised.

Never. It's just the republican way of wealth redistribution...to the already wealthy. It sounded fishy the first time it was brought up, it's obvious now that it's a scam. The only people who seriously talk about it at this point are either rich and greedy or in the media kissing up to those same rich people. Which means we get to continue hearing about it as if it were a legitimate economic plan. Nobody in the middle and lower economic classes thinks it actually works. Never has, never will. The rich will horde the money before ever "trickling" any of it to anybody else.
