Trickle down economics, didn't work, in the 80's, and will not work now. Bush's tax breaks, did give a boost to the stock market, but did not create jobs for Americans, as it was expected. It did bring more jobs to sweatshops in China. Why pay an American, a decent living wage, when the chinese work for pennies on the dollar. The tax breaks would have been more effective without NAFTA. But in this free trade world, in which we live in, Corparations, have found, that investing their money, in domestic factories doesn't pay off, when you have a much cheaper workforce elsewhere. But don't worry, it will balance out, when there is no middle class to purchase the cheap products made in China. And since the third world, pays slave labor wages, the workers can't afford the products either. So when the markets close up, the corp. heads will be out of a job as well. But that's OK, they will have saved for a rainy day
