Never has, never will. A strong backbone of every HEALTHY economy is a strong small and midsize company sector. Mega corporations that involve themselves like vultures into politics, public opinion, and social issues all aside their buying up smaller companies and lobbying politicians have never benefitted broad based society. And never will. But that does not get into the head of most ordinary citizens. Trickle down economics almost always benefits mega corporations. They disproportionately benefit at the expense of tax payers. Trickle down economics is just another term for "shifting wealth from the middle class to the top 1%"
The age old stupid conservative attack on anything that disagrees with trickle down economics is that it must be communist or socialist. What utter bullshit.
Where do immigrants of this world want to go? When you figure out the answer, you also have the answer to the question of whether trickle down economics work. As to his comments on share buy backs... I can't. I just can't. Just read this: https://www.aqr.com/Insights/Research/Journal-Article/Buyback-Derangement-Syndrome
I don't see the connection here. Canada has rarely engaged in trickle down economics (see lack of mega corporations in Canada) and yet it currently is a more popular immigration destination than the US, relatively speaking. You brush all immigrants with a broad stroke which seems shortsighted. Poor and uneducated immigrants go anywhere where life and opportunities are better and where it is relatively easier to immigrate. At the moment it is way easier to immigrate to Canada being poor and uneducated than, for example immigrating to australia, the UK or the US. While as highly educated and experienced economic migrant the US appears to be the more attractive destination.
https://best-citizenships.com/2021/09/29/10-most-popular-countries-for-immigration/#:~:text=What are the most popular,and Saudi Arabia in third. There has been plenty of trickle down economics at work in Canada as well. "Poor and uneducated immigrants go anywhere where life and opportunities are better..." That is my point!?
how about where they leave from. Typically countries that are super favorable to the Uber rich and somehow these immigrant’s lives are so bad they have to leave.
Where has trickle down economics been applied in Canada? If anything then the opposite. Canada is incredibly resource rich yet the entire oil and gas sector is starved of resources and investment and instead plastered with regulations and shutdowns and delays. Your link makes no sense, it looks at absolute numbers of immigrants in the country at a given point in time and dates back to 2020. Canada has more immigrants than the US on a per capita basis which makes much more sense as measure. It also immigrates way more than the US in the past couple years (again, per capita). So does Germany which exhibits an economy that is almost antithetical to trickle down economics. The US is losing high value immigrants to Canada at the moment, on a net basis. The reason for this is the ridiculous immigration policies in the US. Indians and Chinese have to basically wait many decades or even centuries for a green card. Even highly skilled labor from abroad currently has a very hard time to get sponsored for immigration and work permits by us based corporations. You can thank Trump for this malaise and the current administration which has done nothing to alleviate the current issues. Most immigration lawyers in the US who are contracted or directly employed by mega corporations advise their management to hire domestically because middle and upper management talent from abroad has a very low chance of getting permission from US immigrations. Those who are currently at the helm of high tech conglomerates have come to the US years ago. The situation since then has drastically changed. The US is currently starved for high skilled talent from abroad. Why? Because US based colleges and universities to a large degree churn out woke snowflakes who preferred to major in gender studies and philosophy rather than engineering, computer science, medicine, or law. My reason to reply to your post is to show that there is zero causal relationship between immigration statistics and trickle down economics, a link you suggested exists. There does not.
Well you have to understand Republicans got the idea in a strip club. When you are snorting coke, many ideas can seem great. On that, why is prostitution illegal in Amercia unless somebody films it and sells the video?
Only when you have a very strong middle class. Otherwise, you will end up with the Russian model: oligopoly.
