The Flaw

Trickle down has blown up, and turned into trickle up. THE FLAW is a documentary about how the right wing has destroyed our economy. This is a trailer from the film.

This is a quote from David Sington who made the film
" I actually changed my politics by the end of this film. I had always thought: “Don’t worry about how the cake is divided up; just worry about growing the cake.” But for me, it was absolutely shocking to realize that the cake has grown a lot in the last 30 years, but all of the benefits of that growth have gone almost literally to the top 1% of Americans. For 90% of Americans, their piece of cake is no bigger now, but housing costs, medical costs have gone proportionally up more than general inflation, so they’re really squeezed."

This is such a simple concept, why don't people get it. You set up a tax system that lets this happen, then you wonder why the economy collapses. The income of the right has risen by 120% meanwhile the working class has gone backwards by 15%. How is this going to work?
