  I certainly saw it in our high school textbooks, but I did go to school in Florida so 😬
context: One more time for the people in the back who missed what happened because they were too busy screaming "socialism!"....
  Tax cuts for the very wealthy were permanent, but if YOU got a tax cut it was very temporary. 
  Thanks Republicans!!!! >
  
  Way back when all this was passed, a good friend of mine who's a tax attorney was screaming about this. Until he told me, and I was following the news fairly closely, I didn't even know that Rich and poor had been bifurcated in the bill.
  The way they were able to move their stock back onto US shore without paying taxes as well, that was pretty fucking nuts. Then all of the buybacks.... >
  
  I've been reading how the very wealthy have doubled their wealth in the last 3 years. This should be an extreme example of trickle-down economics if it actually worked. The economy should be roaring out of control right now. If there were going to be a trickle-down effect, there would be no doubt we would be able to see it in this environment.
  Still waiting.... >
  
  you will never find the words 'trickle down economics' in any textbook.
