Proof that Hilary is a Marxist

She actually said this...

"Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs"

In a rational world, that statement would end anybody's political career. How can you say that and survive?

I have a small stake in a precious metal refinery in Atlanta. We have 27 employees. Who created those jobs, Karl Marx?

Then she says her husband "brought arithmetic" to Washington. That's true! And what did he do? He cut taxes, cut spending, and kicked millions of poor people off welfare. Is that liberalism? Hell no, tha'ts right out of the tea party agenda. And what happened? IT WORKED.

Spence, Pauls, go ahead and defend her statement...That's probably our next President.

How does "trickle down economics not work"? What do rich people do with their money, do they bury it in coffee cans in their backyard? No, they either spend it, invest it, give it to charity, or put it in the bank. In any case, it helps others down the food chain, that is fact.

She meant that trickle down economics is flawed.

the LINE that i'll remember forever is when she uttered
as a reason to just give up........

"there's too Much money in it"
and then promptly dropped the subject.....

Trickle down economics, or "trickle down theory," is a pejorative expression. So it is by its very hostile and contemptuous nature a very flawed expression. It is the use of the expression that is flawed, more than whatever policy it wishes to disparage.

Thomas Sowell has pointed out that there is no "trickle down theory" of economics. http://www.tsowell.com/images/Hoover%20Proof.pdf.

So when a pol uses the expression to debunk an opponent, beware of her flawed rhetoric.

On the other hand, is being flawed a reason to discard. Then, should we discard the human race? Or to abandon existence? As such, would having flaws be a reason to commit suicide?

Those who demand perfection in human or political relations will have neither. But striving for the better or best in those relations will achieve the most satisfying ones.

We have a history of various economic policies which may help to decide what is better. An honest look, rather than a distorted one, would help us to make better choices.

well, then she could have said that. If she meant that, but said something that different, maybe she's too stupid for the job she seeks.

Trickle-down, of course, is flawed. Nothing is perfect. I'd wager it's better than the nanny state we're moving towards.

My guess is Hillary (like her husband) will be whatever it takes to get elected. My second guess is that it won't work this time around. My third guess is POTUS will be subject to Congress for domestic policy so it may not matter so much.
