I'm a conservative and no I don't hold with the 6k yr old earth BS, totally believe in evolution and .... anyone who doesn't believe in the "trickle down economics" ideology truly is showing their own lack of intellect.

It's so simplistic it's hard to imagine how anyone (even dimwitted liberals) can't get it, but here goes. Unless you are self employed or somehow fabulously wealthy without a need for a paycheck, here's how it works :

John Q works for the All-Or-Nothin Widget Corporation which is owned my Mr. Widget. When Mr.Widget is doin well financially, all the employees at AONWC get a paycheck, get vacations, maybe even sweet bonuses. But, as soon as Mr. W starts feelin the pinch from drops in sales/taxes/administration fees/implemented governmental management programs foisted upon AONWC he's likely to A. start cutting employees hours/cutting personnel/freezing salaries/cutting bonuses/reducing vacation time/etc. in efforts to firm up the bottom line or B. Just say fuckit, close down AONWC and head for his retirement home in the Bahamas which then puts John Q. and all his co-workers on the public dole or at least scampering for new jobs as they try to meet their own financial needs.

If this scenario seems far fetched, one need look no further than the mounting number of corporate closings/dramatic rise in unemployment and the impact these have had on good ol John Q, his family and loved ones to get a grip on how this works
