Aus Mastodon von Michael Albert übernommen:

Britische Forscher haben herausgefunden, dass Steuersenkungen für Reiche keinen (Trickle-Down-) Effekt auf den Wohlstand eines Landes haben. Die Reichen werden lediglich reicher und die Ungleichheit steigt.

People have been mocking trickle down economics from day one. Even in 1981 then Vice President George H. W. Bush called it Voodoo Economics to emphasize the bullshit factor. By the early 90s it was already being mocked heavily... and after the economic crash of 2008 people were drawing more attention to it's bullshit. Yet still nothing changes.
