"The problem is that the GOP have a very long history of getting into power, then passing laws that help line their own pockets and protect their wealth from being "stolen" by the government ..."

Clearly we should elect more Democrats! Oh, wait, they have a history of getting into power and then passing laws protecting unions and paying off organizations which help them steal votes.

In so far as trickle-down economics is concerned, it certainly worked better than the command-driven economy the Democrats and current administration are pushing us towards.
