Ich denke, #trickledown funktioniert für mich nicht.
Aber Luke, du arbeitest doch in einer sozialen Institution, da kommen Spenden rein, die bezahlen deinen Lohn.
Nun, die Spenden haben letztes Jahr etwa 1.5% des Betriebsertrags ausgemacht.
~40% aus Betriebsbeiträgen der öffentlichen Hand (Steuergeld),
~60% Eigenanteil KL (Versicherung (IV) und EL (tw. Steuern).
Die Idee man müsse Ärmere zwingen, von den Mittleren nehmen und Reichere entlasten, die Kern-Ideologie der FDP, folgt u.a. der Theorie des Trickle-Down-Effektes. Nur ist der längstens widerlegt. Was man damit erreicht ist, die soziale Ungleichheit zu verschärfen und Demokratien zu destabilisieren.
@GuidoKuehn Der #TrickleDown-Effekt ist ja bekanntermaßen die Theorie, man könne die Armen am besten unterstützen, indem man in der reichsten Gegend der Stadt Hundert-#Euro-Scheine in die Briefschlitze wirft. Keine Ahnung, warum das nicht funktioniert...
Goede historische schets door @rbreich van de verwording van politieke economie tot technische modelvorming.
“Over the years, the professoriate had become more specialized and technical. Economists — most of whose theories were by then expressed in mathematical formulae and grounded in “rational self-interest” — tended to overlook the values of community, mutual obligation, and compassion.” #economie#politiek#trickledownhttps://masto.ai/@rbreich/112138304660000183
I know I've said it before, but it obviously bears repeating... #TrumpSupporters are truly the dumbest people on the planet. Here we have this certified idiot who believes that more tax cuts for his boss will somehow translate to him getting a raise, and safer equipment.
"If the business climate is better towards people like him, I do better. If you hit them harder with taxes, it takes away from me."
"...some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system." - Pope Francis
Mitchell, Austin. ‘Revenge of the Rich: the neoliberal revolution in Britain and New Zealand’. Canterbury University Press, 2017.
Austin Mitchell was a UK Labour MP for the years 1977-2015 and prior to that lived and lectured in Aotearoa for 8 years, part of the original team that founded the Political Science department at Canterbury University.
‘Revenge of the Rich’ is a readable overview of what neoliberalism (NL) is, how it was introduced and adopted in Britain (Thatcherism) and Aotearoa (Rogernomics) and its consequences. It’s a solid little taster and intro into NL in Aotearoa and by comparing and contrasting it with Britain, it fleshes out the contexts in which NL was instituted here and why, and how it failed in both countries.
If a book about economics can be called “lively”, this one is. It’s not a textbook and doesn’t read like one. It’s piqued my interest in NL, austerity, and related stuff. Aotearoa just had a General Election and both the Nats’ and ACT’s talking points reflected the same failed NL crap Mitchell documents. I suppose a frightened populace will goosestep behind snakeoil salemen touting expired ideas if they’re unaware those ideas have been tried, tested, and failed.
It's just more reason why dual power is so important and why engaging with and building within your communities is really the only way we’ll build resilience against the pendulum swing of politics.
Formel-1-Boss Ecclestone wegen Steuerbetrugs verurteilt
Ex-Formel-1-Manager Ecclestone ist wegen Steuerhinterziehung in England verurteilt worden. Er will nun umgerechnet 756 Millionen Euro nachzahlen - und entgeht so einer Haftstrafe.
#Biden: I'm sick and tired of Republicans in the House saying they want to cut the deficit when all they really want to do is cut taxes for the wealthy.
For evidence, of how "#trickleDown" does not work, just look at this instance. It has been giving a voice to activists for years and yet is not able to sustain itself at a mere $40 per month.
Our long-running activism instance (UK-based but they move through Europe by boat) is having to shut down on 8 October due to no funds.
Labor Day reminder: If the min wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $26 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $19/hour from working Americans for 60 years.
That’s generational theft from the working class to keep people in poverty.
We don't suffer a lack of resources—but an excess of greed.
Falls ihr euch die Frage stellt: WARUM ZUM FICK ARBEITE ICH MIR DEN ARSCH AB, ABER DIE INFLATION FRISST MICH TROTZDEM AUF und wo kommen die ganzen Milliardäre plötzlich her?!
Dann hier Antwort. Kurz in der Grafik. Oder lang im Blog.
Denn nichts davon ist Zufall. Es gibt dafür sehr eindeutige Gründe. Die haben mit dem Spitzensteuersatz und der Mehrwersteuer zu tun...
Hier endlich die ultimative Grafik: Wie Trickle-Down-Ökonomie WIRKLICH funktioniert.
Wie ÜBERZEUGEND dieses Wirtschaftskonzept ist, bei dem Superreiche so lange mit, Gold, Kaviar und Champagner gemästet werden, bis etwas für den Rest abfällt. Toll! 😍
Trotz der Klimakrise sollte man dem bayrischen Wirtschaftsminister unverzüglich eine Hochleistungsklimaanlage fürs Ministerium genehmigen.
Diese aberwitzigen unfinanzierbaren Vorschläge können nur jenseits der 35 Grad Raumtemperatur in stark dehydriertem Zustand entstanden sein.
Zudem scheinen sie teilweise auch noch von einem missverstandenen, überholten ökonomischen Konzept auszugehen: "#TrickleDown -"...
My god, they sure hate#LinaKhan. This once-in-a-generation, groundbreaking, brilliant legal scholar and fighter for the public interest, the slayer of #Reaganomics, has attracted more vitriol, mockery, and dismissal than any of her predecessors in living memory.
She sure must be doing something right, huh?

🚨 IMPORTANT CALL TO ACTION 🚨 Congress has introduced a new credit card bill that helps WalMart & Target rake in billions more. It will hurt low income people (& strip rewards) and hurt small businesses.
The bill’s sponsors claim it’ll cut credit card fees for corporations who will then pass those savings to consumers. Remember how that worked with the billionaire tax cuts?🤔 Join me. Take 5 seconds & email Congress to vote NO: https://bit.ly/3poXA3Q
When ONE percent of the population is given more than 1/4 of all income, it creates an unhealthy unequal society. This is NOT good for democracy nor for the working classes whose #Labor supports the one-percenters' obscene wealth.
And yet the #GOP wants to give the already rich even more tax-breaks and tax-payer funded handouts. Using the known lie of #TrickleDown as justification.
It's all going down the tubes but their boats keep getting bigger. (lemmy.ml)
