Trickle-Up Economics

We’ve all seen how well supply-side or trickle down economics has worked for the middle and working classes. When the rich get more money, they pretty much keep it for investment. There is little or no job creation. Money at the top stays at the top. Why not try trickle up economics instead? Make more money available to the 99% of Americans who will turn around and spend most of that to pay their bills and improve their lot in life. Ironically, the extra consumer demand will, indeed, create more jobs to meet the need and increase revenue to businesses and their shareholders. The need for government assistance will disappear proportionally, as more people will be able to take care of themselves. Capitalism and the economy will be actually become more robust.
