For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.

For New Zealanders this is a Māori tradition (tikanga) that is used to welcome visitors, to honour the living or dead, or as a sign of identity (to a tribe, organisation, team, as NZers). A good Haka has pride and passion and numbers don't matter. #blackandwhite #monochrome
