Musing of the Moment: Billionaires in Space

There is a belief among followers of the GOP that trickle-down economics works - that giving tax breaks to the rich will eventually flow downhill to the middle and lower classes.

If you want a prime example of how that belief is total bullshit, consider Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos launching themselves and their buddies to the edge of space. 

When they got back, they celebrated with champagne like they just launched a yacht. 

It doesn't trickle down. They build rockets with it. 

It's not trickle down. It's pissing on the middle class and the poor.
