What I didn't post on 3A Down Low

The link below is a to a high school football message board. I have decided not to become political. Here is what I would have responded on this thread:

We're poor

More tax cuts for the upper income folks such as PPHSfan will solve this problem. It's called "trickle down" economics.

71 percent of the people in my county, which is one of those "poor" areas, agree with this strategy. Just because the "trickle down" is warm and smells a bit like ammonia is no reason to think it isn't actually raining.

It's like the joke Reagan used to tell about the little boy and the pony as described by one of his speechwriters here:

Lopez: What's your most treasured life lesson inspired by RWR?

Robinson: That one’s easy. The pony in the dung heap.

It was Reagan’s favorite joke. Worried that their son was too optimistic, the parents of a little boy took him to a psychiatrist. Trying to dampen the boy’s spirits, the psychiatrist showed him into a room piled high with nothing but horse manure. Yet instead of displaying distaste, the little boy clambered to the top of the pile, dropped to all fours, and began digging.

“What do you think you’re doing?” the psychiatrist asked.

“With all this manure,” the little boy replied, beaming, “there must be a pony in here somewhere.”
