: Reaganomics didn't work the way Reagan thought that it would - you're right. In fact that's about the only thing you say through this entire capitalism smear campaign that is right. Trickle down economics does not appeal to me simply because of its supposed practical benefits, but more because of its moral ones. The very idea that the poor and middle class are entitled to the money that has been earned by the upper classes is disgusting. This is why communism and socialism are the most selfish economic forms. Under communist and socialist regimes, the very first and basic principle is that a certain class of people have the right to the fruits of the labor of other classes. Is it not selfish for me to say, "Give your money, just because! No you don't owe to me for any reason, I just want it because i don't have any, so GIVE IT TO ME! I want, I want, I want!"?
What a wonderful abasement of human potential we have here. The human race is acting "selfish" if it shares the wealth, whereas if we segments ourselves into social classes, if we have poor people with nearly nothing and if we have 300-odd billionaires in the world, then we are the perfect model of society. Might as well bring back kings, and slavery. At least kings could justify their right to be upper class through the theory of divine right, and at least slaves knew their place.
None.
