    The topic is trickle down. That clearly was pushed on the people by the R's. And still is today.

    Republicans since Aristotle and Jefferson have been as libertarian as the electorate will allow! Do you understand?

    yes trickle down capitalism wherein you get rich by inventing cures for caner and Iphones that trickle down to the masses is far better than crippling trickle down welfare which is what the libcommie opposition wants.

    Aristotle and Jefferson weren't republicans. the republican party wasn't created until the mid 1800's.

    If you'd like to fib, that's up to you. Hopefully you've learnt your lesson mind you!

    As I said, innovations in the fight against cancer demonstrate the need for government funding and research. You really need to think more!

    as long as you agree that under Christian Republican capitalism wealth trickles or, more accurately, floods down so that ordinary consumers enjoy an extraordinary standard of living!

    There's no valid political economy in your post. God bothering isn't of much interest. The protestant reformation stuff from Weber isnt particularly revealing after all

    Market socialism certainly creates superior conditions for wealth creation. It enables greater self employment (ie firm creation)

    There's no trickle down with supply side economics. It is merely a term to manipulate the gullible. Now there can be wealth creation through socialism. That describes how reductions in inefficient inequality are key

    Socialists have always been against dictatorships. See, for example, Orwell. In contrast, you celebrate them!

    So Hitler Stalin Mao Castro Pol Pot Kim Jung Um, Allende Che Lenin were against dictatorships. You mean in theory and eventually? See why we say liberalism is based in ignorance?

    You continue to show ignorance of political economy. Socialists were of course against fascism (often when the American elite weren't). They also were against state capitalism.
