(1,372 posts)18. but trickle-down and recouping losses are two entirely different things
based on the motivation to hoard money.
Trickle-down doesn't work because once the wealthy get their money
they want to keep it and invest it to make more money.
When a business spends more money for any reason, the business feels
it is within it's rights to raise prices., lower worker salaries and benefits
in order to recoup any potential loss of earnings.
