@Uhmu45 ''Trickle Down is nonsense please stop makeing videos about it''
I know it's nonsense but making videos which point out why it's nonsense is not a useless endeavor, since we're living in a time when the majority of people who turn out to vote in the States end up staking their votes primarily on their conviction of trickle down being effective and the work of an economic wizard.

"Rich are human too and if there are loop holes exists they will use it"
Ok, so we agree that loopholes are a bad thing & that they're irresistible to any class. Got it.
"Targeting one class because they are rich is also racism"
You're thinking of classism, not racism. I'd agree with you that it's unjustified, but only when you have a top 2% which, for the most part, legitimately earns their wealth. In the States we have CEOs laying off 10K employees, then giving themselves big fat bonuses.

Why "Communism" failed was because it was a top-down bureaucratic system of political economy:
1. A political economy (including all other types of political economies like Capitalism) CANNOT work because it functions on the basis of abstraction like laws, money and "finance" and not the accounting of real resources, relevant education and technology.
2. A top-down bureaucratic system concentrates power to those in political office (lawyers) and not the technologists, engineers and scientists.

If forced redistribution of property is by definition slavery, then obviously turning chattel bondsmen loose in the US&A by Federal power was the taking of freedom and creating slavery. Slavery then = Freedom in its full Orwellian sense. Brought to you by the free market.

"Would you replace the RIGHT of TRAVEL with a LICENSE? The RIGHT to Marry with a "License"? The Right to breed with a "license"? YES, because YOU think OTHERS should make those decisions FOR you."
Why are you running away from the original driver's license analogy & obfuscating the issue by throwing in a ton of other random analogies? Because you can't respond to the original one?

Surely you'll show up, given your passion & caps use.

So you basically just said that the spawn of royalty is placed at the same starting line as the spawn of a meth-addicted single mother in the Compton. That's what your "Gov't can ONLY GIVE the "unfair advantage"" drivel means. You're utterly hopeless.
The rest of it is just more generic goal-post switching. Where in this vid did I promote monopolies? I'm for non-profit alternatives, which aren't monopolies. You don't pay attention, you just reply for the primitive sake of getting the last word.

@AntiBullshitMan You're such a brainwashed little puppet.
Would you replace the RIGHT of TRAVEL with a LICENSE? The RIGHT to Marry with a "License"? The Right to breed with a "license"? YES, because YOU think OTHERS should make those decisions FOR you. CHILD!
Do your think bureaucrats should decide YOUR quality of life? YES!
How much of YOUR labor you keep? YES!
Who is allowed to take your money? YES! Who must work for a living and who can just suck off the system? YES!

Gov't can ONLY GIVE the "unfair advantage" when they are allowed to Redistribute and Regulate to favor campaign backers and "friends". FREE Competition REMOVES the "unfair advantage" by forcing everyone to COMPETE.
Gov't is MONOPOLY which helps other MONOPOLIES form to gain money and power for themselves and their crony-politicians.
Gov't REGULATION& REDISTRIBUTION (crony-CORPORATISM) places their FAVORITE "competitors" "4 feet away from the finish line". FOOL!

"Forced "redistribution" is Slavery"
You're such a brainwashed little puppet. Would you allow all drivers' spawn to inherit a driver's license? Is it slavery to FORCE a driver to nullify his driver's license once he is unfit to drive? Are you that owned by your ideology & tunnel vision self-interest that you're unable to grasp how retarded it is when applied to anything other than $? Quit avoiding the points I raised by reiterating the same tired bullshit. Watch what I linked you to or fuck off
It's stupid to dismiss the loophole effect, or in your case; to mention it in that other video, as you say you did. So you mentioned it. So what? Did you do so only to make a blanket statement that they had zero effect? I'm not going to watch that other video because it's over 30 minutes, but based on what you said here, it seems that you just glossed over it as if it's not crucial.

"blanket statement"
So you admit that you didn't bother watching the video, but still shove this baseless & insulting speculation in my inbox?
To refute this with an appeal to the existing loopholes in that period, you would have start by actually providing evidence that those loopholes suddenly vanished once Reagan slashed the top rate. Adjust all pre-80's tax evasion, to the top rate still declining in 1982, & count the additional revenue loses.
The argument from loophole is a non-sequitur.
