The central tenet of wingerism used to be that tax cuts would stimulate the economy so much that benefits would trickle down to the lower classes. That never happened. Wingerism failed.
I never hear a Republican mention supply side economics or trickle down anymore. The press gave no eulogies. Its like the whole idea never happened.
OTHER POINTS OF WINGERISM THAT FAILED
(1) We don't have to do anything about energy. The market will take care of it.
(2)We don't need government involvement in the health care system.
(3)A big military will prevent our nation from being attacked.
(4) Big stick diplomacy succeeds
(5) Preachy political leaders will improve the nation's morality. Preachy political leaders are vice free.
