But you keep putting that cart before the horse, if you want.

Any economic benefits that have occurred due to tax cuts for the rich have all gone to the rich. As a result we now have in this country a wealth distribution that any third world Banana Republic Dictator would be proud of. An economy that only works for a small percentage at the top is doomed to fail. The rank and file workers bees are tapped out. When you get to the point where the rich are trying to squeeze more blood out of what are now turnups, the whole thing will collapse.
