I assume they published it because of this:

Quote:

"Cutting taxes on the rich increases top income shares, but has little effect on economic performance," the researchers concluded.

trickle down being bullshit has been known for decades

The conclusion that it's basically harmless seems like propaganda to me

rather than having "little effect", I'd say it's devastating

Wealth obviously trickles up, for anyone paying the slightest bit of attention, which is exactly why we need a government to begin with.

In an early indication of which ideological faction of the Democratic Party will control the policy agenda in the upcoming Congress, a House body tasked with deciding committee assignments overwhelmingly voted Thursday to deny progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a spot on the powerful Energy and Commerce panel, instead handing the seat to centrist Rep. Kathleen Rice.

The landslide 46-13 vote in favor of Rice

another noteworthy excerpt:

Quote:

House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), dean of the New York delegation, signed a letter in support of Ocasio-Cortez, as did more than a dozen other members.

Rice—a New York Democrat who, unlike Ocasio-Cortez, voted against Pelosi for speaker last year—received some support from the state delegation as well.

also this tweeted observation:

Not just Rep. Rice beating out AOC, all five Dems added to the powerful E&C Committee, which oversees energy, healthcare, etc - Reps. Craig, Schrier, Fletcher and Trahan - are pro-business New Dem caucus members, all beating progressives vying for seats.

On the video call, several Democrats called out Ocasio-Cortez’s efforts to help liberal challengers take out their own incumbents, as well as her refusal to pay party campaign dues.

"I'm taking into account who works against other members in primaries and who doesn't,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said on the call, according to multiple sources. Cuellar successfully fended off a primary challenge from Jessica Cisneros, who Ocasio-Cortez supported.

https://soundcloud.com/trueanonpod/spycops-undercover

this is a pretty incredible, very upsetting, podcast about undercover cops in the uk who infiltrated major and minor protest groups by becoming friends and lovers with people involved in the protests FOR YEARS and fathered children with women, and then disappeared.

2 minute teaser for the episode https://soundcloud.com/trueanonpod/s...ercover-teaser

the teaser doesn't talk much about the undercover cops completely ruining lives, and ruining protest groups. it's just one of the victims talking about what he wants to come from the inquiry into the evil cops

as far as i know cops in the usa are laughably awful at being undercover. i mean they still trick some people, but most people can spot them pretty easily.

yeah, probably i've just never seen the competent agents. maybe i just see the idiots who are like beat cops, and they dress up and try to join the protests, or try to buy drugs
