trickle-down economics

The weekend Paul Krugman was on fire after Republicans cluelessly went on the warpath against Alexandria Cortez again, this time because of her 60 Minutes tax hike for the rich proposal. His NY Times column, The Economics of Soaking the Rich, started by asking "What does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know about tax policy?" and then answering... "A lot."

Americans have been noticing-- in increasing numbers-- that the Republican tax cuts have done exactly what they were designed to do: make the rich richer. And nothing more.
