Y'know the whole crop of Repub candidates keeps repeating the nostrum that lower taxes on the -getting-richer-all-the-time class will "allow" them to "trickle it down" to the rest of us.

Bush, the elder, called Ronald Reagan out on that calling it "voodoo economics." He was right. And it is no less true today than it was back then. But the current crop repeat it as a mantra, as if repeating a lie enough makes it true.
