Someone Explain It, So That It Makes Sense.

Someone please, explain it, so that it makes sense to me. I just have missed something in the core concept.

I understand there is a political theory that says Trickle Down Economics (economics being a field solidly based in math, and not subject to whimsical nonsense,) means that if those who are already financially successful are given even greater means through corporate and personal tax breaks, instead of he masses, that eventually We The People, (by which I mean the majority) will eventually get the benefits, because they (by which I mean rich assholes) will be ultimately spending more.

I get it, and at its surface it is a simple concept. Here's where I disagree...

Ultimately, what this concept is saying: is that we all (the majority) are dogs, sitting obediently at the feet of our masters (corporate assholes) and if they deign to delight us with scraps from their table, we should just sit there chewing happily, and feel all happy and warm inside.

The unfortunate reality, is that this concept has never been true, and those that cling to it, out of either desperation, or selfishness are the remnants of a bygone era of self-indulgences and effectively caste systems.

I get it, I mean for the wealthy millionaires, and now billionaires why they think that they should give the least, and take the most, percentage-wise: they're selfish. It's in the name of the concept, but what I don't understand are the dogs. The loyalists to their corporate overlords. To any and all Republicans, who aren't listed in Forbes magazine, or high-ranking members of a Fortune-500 company, I have to ask, why?

Others more qualified than I, have already explained part of this problem, it stems from the fact that right-wingers in government have aligned themselves with the religious nutters, and that those Bob Jones-esque (by which I mean more assholes) zealots are busy programming middle America, (both literal Mid-West USA, and figurative middle class) to believe nonsense like in order to love Jesus, or support our troops, you have to think their way.

And that I don't get... in fact, when you'll have my complete understanding, is when you say something like: to support our troops, you'll offer them free health insurance for life, and a college education, and maybe even VA Housing for all veteran's families, not just the section 8 vouchers for homeless vets, but they don't...

Instead (and they're in their own capacity, honest) telling us, what they're going to do is give the wealthiest and extra boost, and that they hope (reads: know is unlikely) will happen, is that you'll get the run-off, rather than the river.

I think I've been giving my opinion again, oh well... next time - just the facts.
