A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

When is the last time you heard a conservative say “trickle-down economics”?

Was it 1988? Or more recent than that?

Literally every single day conservatives push for tax breaks for big corporations and ultra-wealthy Americans calling them "job creators". Trickle down economics is the prevailing philosophy of the Republican Party.

If conservatives don't think it works, I guess I'm concerned about their continued push to concentrate wealth at the top, because the only explanation is that they want to turn the working class into a peasant class.

If Democrats didn't think it worked, they wouldn't have let it stay the whole time.

Clinton, Obama, Biden, etc, have all kept the same economic vision for America.
