I wish I could say that trickle down economics is dead...I just don't think that's what was the main motivation here. I think the social policies (Retardation) and the actual persona of Romney hit him harder than any electorate examining either candidates economic "plans." I can say with a great level of certainty that any economic policy has little bearing on the actual outcome of a given election. My anecdotal observations suggest that people will believe what they want to when it comes to understanding any of that...I got into it with a co-worker on trickle down economics and Romney's plan. She simply told me "you'll see." I bet her lunch that Obama would win the general...

But now she's just depressed and pessimistic.

Meh, I wouldn't even analyze it from that end. I'd simply ask the owner if he or she thought a cut in their taxes would have a larger affect on their motivation to hire and reinvest capital into their company than an increase in demand for their products and services. I already know the answer. Then you ask them if raising a certain tax rate would deter them from hiring or reinvesting if demand remained at an optimal level.

The reasons cited for Trickle Down Economics by its proponents are wholly without proof or common sense. Especially when you contextualize what that would mean in the current economic environment. It would be a disaster.
