Trickle Down, it is past time this 'Greed-Based' American rip-off was debunked. In truth and fact it has proven instead to be a cruel and dishonest thievery, it actually enabled a select few to literally rob this entire nation . Now citizens must bail out failed greed and corruption of Corp Financial Institutions. They even now admit that oil-prices have no relation to Supply/Demand, but is the result of "Speculators."

Here in theory is the Trickle-Down concept, the Supply-Side theorem to initiate growth and success of American Industry and Commerce. It would be accomplished through tax incentives to those within industry and commerce, this would result in increased profits invested not only back into American owned businesses, but would also provide more and better jobs with increased benefits for all.

Here is what happened instead to all those Tax-Incentives to be plowed back into existing American Industry & Commerce. Incentives which would create larger factories, more jobs, new technologies, and keep America competitive with the rest of the Global Economy. Taxes which we later heard helped finance shipment of American Industry and Commerce to third world locations, as is happening today as our factories and jobs are transferred (with tax write-off) to Communist China.

Do the words "Junkbond, Hostile-Takeover, Leveraged-Buyout", bring back scenes of that period. It was the rape of a nation, as (tax incentive moneys) were used instead to take over existing business's (jobs), and Mean & Lean sacrificing of parts of these buyouts to pay off Junkbond profiteers. It was the merging of many businesses into Multi-National or Globally/Diversified entities who show no particular (other than off-shore bank accounts) commitment. A time when individuals involved in this takeover mania, who discovered they might lose their own CEO position, quickly devised unemployment compensation plans called Poison Pill, and Golden Parachute.

Today we see Heavy Industry and Technology developed in this nation (magically) relocated into 3rd World locations. Miraculous in that these new 3rd World owners initially could not have afforded a pee-pot. Now we import easily 75-80% of everything we purchase, primarily from 3rd World Slave-Labor nations, yet pay prices near what it would cost to produce in this nation. It is also true that the majority of the largest economies in the world now belong to these Multi-Nat'l-Corp-Conglomerates. However Americas continuous record Debt and resulting Trade Deficit grows daily, of which excluding these Multi-Nat'l Conglomerates, we common American citizens or our children (and) grandchildren will (eventually) have to pay.

We now find that many of our Super Power allies are turning against US Foreign Policies, not only because of aggressive Deep-Black-Covert atrocities, but because our demands benefit primarily only US-Corporate interests. We are also a nation with a $7-8 trillion dollar Nat'l Debt; in total closer to $46 Trillion when all (Federal, State, and Individual) American debt is added together. Would you be surprised to hear that effectively (all) of our Nat'l-Debt was accrued within a twenty years period, between years 1980-2000. Our "Total National Debt" (Fed/State/Personal) is estimated will grow exponentially out of control, this happening as our infrastructure is shrinking, and increasingly many common citizens not saving adequately for old age after Social Security and Healthcare out of necessity are closed down.

Few believe that the gap between rich and poor has widened; yet statistics prove this has been continuously ongoing. Others believe removing monies from Social Security (whose surpluses are now used to pay off Congressional over spending) should be invested in Corp-Stock-Markets (now building factories in places like China), believing apparently that building factories in the 3rd-World will somehow help repair Americas failing economy.

Few apparently aware that the majority of Americas Tax Incentives (that are suppose to build Americas business infrastructure) go instead to the Largest and Wealthiest of Corporations, despite the (fact) that Small Business is still the backbone of jobs and taxes in America. Many apparently ignorant of the fact that American export is so small, record Trade Deficits are reported every year, ignorant (in denial) also of the fact we Import easily 70-80% of all consumables purchased by American consumers.

We were told when this ripoff began, that the "Information Industry" would be our saving grace, apparently unaware that even third world children are surpassing American children in these educational needs. Or as example that a hand full of Multi-Nat'l Corporations now own and control approximately 70% of Americas Media, with expert belief that 4-5 Int'l-Corp's will soon own most of the entire worlds Media. Can anyone see the signs of the times?

During a special Congressional investigation in year-2005 a shocking statement was made in regard illegal immigrants hired by US Corporations in America. It stated that prior to year 2000, well over 1,000 Corporations were investigated and brought before Federal Court for deliberately and illegally hiring illegal immigrants. The Congressman then followed this statement by saying in the year 2005 (only) three (3) Corporations were investigated and brought into Federal Court for hiring illegal immigrants.

These charge as their statistics proved, was that the US Federal Government had begun deliberately ignoring Immigration Laws that would have solved our illegal immigrant problem, charging also this proved the power of Corporate influence within our government, the sole purpose of this influence to protect Corp-Profits in direct opposition to the best interests of American citizen's and future.

Despite the great outcry against illegal aliens now (deliberately) enticed into Americas job market, despite the movement of Americas job market into "Service" level jobs, despite Corp-Gov destruction of Labor Unions, despite lower pay and benefits, despite Congress bowing to privatization of necessities like Medical Plans (benefiting everyone but the consumer), American citizens still believe government reports that describe a vibrant and growing economy plus job market. It is apparent fear will make people do things that are not only foolish, but in truth cowardly and self-destructive.
