trickle down economics

A government ecomomic plan in which taxes are lowered on the wealthy so that they have incentives to do things with the extra money they would have would lead it to 'trickle down' to the middle and lower classes.

For example, the wealthy might use the extra money to expand their businesses or buy more shares in the stock market, thus expanding the economy and providing more jobs for those in the middle and lower classes.

The wealthy might also spend the extra money on more goods and services, thus providing the middle and lower classes with more work.

Probably the most significant stream of money trickling down is from the extra money that the wealthy put in banks. Because there is more money in banks, there is more money for the middle and lower classes to borrow for buying houses and starting and expanding businesses.

Many liberals like to attack trickle down economics as an unfair benefit to the wealthy. Their mistake is that they ignore the idea of the "invisible hand" that is implicitly behind the idea for such an economic policy. Trickle down economics is good because it inevitably leads to more jobs and money for the middle and lower classes and to an expanding economy.
Liberals should actually take a class in macroeconomics before they start complaining about trickle down economics.

Holocaust deniers

people who KNOW that the Holocaust happened but just like to say that it didn't all because they're just anti-semitics assholes
Ever noticed how Holocaust deniers usually also tend to be anti-zionists. It's no coincidence. Holocaust denial is a result of anti-semitism.

Michael Moore

A very leftist Hollywood documentary filmmaker who also writes some books. He has been accused by many of telling lies in his movies but I tend to believe that he is overall honest because he is an Eagle Scout.
If I could ask Michael Moore one question it would be if he makes any tax deductions.

ann coulter

An honest, witty, intelligent and insightful conservative writer who effectively communicates the right-wing message and proves that liberals are wrong about everything... just kidding!
Ann Coulter called Katie Couric "the affable Eva Braun of morning TV" just because she's jealous that Katie is 4 years older and 10 inches shorter yet 20 times hotter than her.
