Although economists agree that changing how a government taxes its citizens can have some dramatic effects on an economy, they disagree on which policy is best. Trickle-down theory represents one such idea that can supposedly spur economic growth.commercial hvac new jerseyhttp://www.bergenrefrigeration.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-89392985332388862552012-08-07T12:22:55.529-04:002012-08-07T12:22:55.529-04:00Very excellent article.

There are always exceptional people, and they get a lot of attention by the masses. But, at the same time, there are an almost equal number or percentage of deadbeats, or those at the lowest end of the bell curve.<br /><br />This article does make trickle down economics a little clearer to those of us who are not economists. And it does so in a fair way that validates and invalidates points of argument on both sides.<br /><br />My thought, this nation was built upon the hard work of individuals, generally working for their self interest, but usually producing for the benefit of the greater good. There is nothing wrong with that. We were a nation that valued productive effort and shunned the lazy freeloader. It is why the Greatest Generation was great. (It wasn't just because of WW2.)<br /><br />But we have become fat (in riches) and lazy. Each subsequent generation has seen drift towards the deadbeat category. It is time to stop funding the lazy and incentivize them to desire working for their wares.<br /><br />(In Romney's book, No Apology, he spends quite a number of pages on what incentivization means and how that affects behavior. One good example is the traffic cam. Traffic offenses drastically decreased as people were paid, or benefited from reduced fees, for being good instead of charged for being bad.Machtynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970086356341341480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-80646715693271949022012-08-06T16:54:31.013-04:002012-08-06T16:54:31.013-04:00I fixed it myself :) It was wrong initially, I had...I fixed it myself :) It was wrong initially, I had to edit it a couple of times.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368456662911294140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-34140037919679290292012-08-06T16:38:07.058-04:002012-08-06T16:38:07.058-04:00Fix what color?Fix what color?BOSMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613253160155525089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-24415151818653790352012-08-06T16:02:02.706-04:002012-08-06T16:02:02.706-04:00Does anyone know how to fix the colour?Does anyone know how to fix the colour?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368456662911294140noreply@blogger.com
