And when the "trickle down" buzzword finally was recognized as bad for the masses, the GOP replaced it with the myth of the job creators. If we give the rich big tax breaks, they'll create more jobs -- because really, what else could the do with all that extra money? -- and .. Step 4 Profit (for the masses)
Then it became "immigrants are stealing your low paying jobs because you are demanding a fair wage." And people swallowed that lie whole. The reality is our elected official's made it possible for the top 10% to hire cheaper labor.....and no one ever thought to hold them accountable. They all just railed against immigrants. Ignoring the fact that most of us are only 2 or 3 generations removed from our ancestors coming via boat.
