Because, just as Rrhain does in the very next message and just as you do at the end of this message, some here deny that any such thing as money tricking down from the rich to the rest of the economy even happens.
The rate at which the rich are spending the money compared to the rest of us
obviously is vastly different, else we wouldn't be where we are. The rich spend their money on more money, whereas the rest of us pleebs spend our money on
things and those
things are what help the economy. And the more
things us people buy, still the money goes UP, yet the money they spend on money.....stays up. I can't agree that their money is "trickling down" because it is offset by
our money going right back to them 10 fold.
I'm happy to use a less confusing term if someone can suggest one.
Please do.
Then where does money spent by the rich go? When a rich person builds a mansion, do other rich people do the foundation, the framing, the drywall, and so on? Or is it people of average income?
Are there loads and loads of mansions being built? Are there so many mansions being built that it offsets the amount of construction workers that are out of work? Are there so many mansions being built that construction companies are begging for more workers?
I think this secondary usage of "trickle down" that you insist on is only serving to obfuscate in light of the topic.
