The most ironic thing is that if you open a history book, you can see that we convinced nearly the entire world join us in crapping all over communism, because of its tendency to almost certainly lead to corruption and mass suffering DUE TO GREED. Now look at us, we're just one bad presidential term away from being just as bad off as the USSR. "Trickle-down economics" didn't "trickle down" at all, it just funneled more wealth to the greedy rich. Oligarchy, anyone? Now, as a result, if you want (or don't want) a law to apply to you, you can just pay enough money into the corrupt system and get the rules changed for you. The concept of "trickle down economics" was truly a communist policy in sheep's clothing.
