Even "trickle down economics" would be better than what we have been getting. 

Wealth has been trickling up, as Republicans have cut taxes on the wealthy. 

Basically the entirety of the past century of American economics shows that your beliefs are wrong. 

Anyone can be wealthy if they get a job, make smart decisions and invest money in an index fund. Voo had around 95% return in last 5 years.

The vast majority of stock market gains go to the wealthy, so I feel like that isn't a great point.

When you're poor, you typically don't have much money to put into the stock market... I feel like that shouldn't need to be spelled out for you.
