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.

Bhahahahahahah! Sure bud. if you completely ignore the disparity between cost of living increases and minimum wages and the cost of housing and...you get my point. 

If you ignore all of the actual factors that matter then SURE, your theory is perfectly well-founded.
