2) Economic growth was the best during periods of high taxation on the rich. The years when we tried trickle down economics are the years we had the lowest economic growth[4].
3) The Trump tax cuts only benefit the rich. 70% of the cuts are given to the richest 1%. Only 5% of the cuts go to people who are not rich[5].
4) These cuts for the rich would increase inequality and all the literature on the topic, including the stuff form the conservative IMF conclude that inequality hurts economic growth[6]. A 10% decrease in inequality resulted in the next economic recovery growth spell being 50% larger[7].
