The vaca was just the 1st line of the article.

Are taxpayers paying for her fashion choices?

No, they didn't pay for her fashion choices or the beach house.

Mostly yes, though I'd caution that anyone in any class should not spend beyond their means, or get into debt (at least, more debt than they can handle).

wouldn't that also include governmental entities?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

So very true, it is not a position any "average" man has held. It is our form of "royalty"

that being said, any politician claiming to be 'in touch' with the common people is flat out lying.

Not as a governing philosophy. That said, I'm not opposed to some of the policies that are part of the overall trickle-down viewpoint, like tax breaks for business & keeping the top tax rate lower.

But, overall, trickle-down as a governing philosophy is too simplistic & broad-handed, imo.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by governing philosophy, but at least we all agree that trickle down effect is a reality when wealthy consumers are encouraged to spend.

I'd like to see a tax break for the rich on money they spend on domestic goods and services. Encourage spending, not savings for the rich.
