Does Trickle-Down Economics Actually Work?

The most productive and booming years in American history were when tax on the highest incomes and biggest businesses were highest.

The longest boom in American history of started in June of 2009 breaking the previous longest boom of 120 months from March 1991 to March 2001.

The most "productive" (i.e. productivity increase) and "booming years" (percentage wise) in American history were actually back in the later 1800s (1870 to 1900) and are associated with the Industrial Revolution. This era is known as the 'Gilded Age".

"During the 1870s and 1880s, the U.S. economy rose at the fastest rate in its history, with real wages, wealth, GDP, and capital formation all increasing rapidly.[43]"


Neither of these times are known for high taxes on top-earner incomes of individuals or business.

Excuse me, I was speaking of the boom from the 1950s through the 60s. This is the era era where America turned into a consumer driven economy and the modern American economy we recognize today formulated itself.
 
so you just want 50+% of your income gone to taxes that you will never see a return on out of the goodness of your heart? come on dude...

50% my ass. My effective rate is lower than the average American household. Like I said, you have no idea.
