This issue has become increasingly muddled and confused over the past decade. There's a lot of misinformation. The worst of it involves the media claiming Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump's tax policies are both offshoots of trickle down economics. It should be mentioned that trickle down economics gives greater tax cuts to the wealthy to shift the burden of taxes further onto the shoulders of the rich to middle class. The policies Reagan and Trump proposed are the opposite. They give greater tax cuts to the poor to middle class in order to shift the tax burden more firmly onto the shoulders of the wealthy.
