The government alone takes nearly 1/3rd of EACH OF MY PAYCHECKS and trying to buy a house in this state is a nightmare because anything decent cost 300k, and that's living in central part of this state where I would have to commute north to work. Living north, the same house would go for 500... which means either way I'd be living like all my friends I work with that own their houses, broke as fuck... aka solid lower middle class....

I'd tend to agree that is the concept, but would say they are taking it from the wrong end, and putting in the wrong places. Hence trickle down is more like, ice sickles in the tundra, you only seem them shit like 2 times a year for a day or two.
