New Right, the rich will shelter income
The first stop to doing that is to create nice income shelters of course. Like the proposed dividend giveaway.

BTW did you know that above a fairly low national average income the single largest factor in lifespan is income disparity? Apparently large disparities cause stress, and stress very literally kills. Just noting that while trickle-down has not been proven to make the masses better off, it does seem to put them out of their misery sooner.

It is not entirely a coincidence that the US has one of the lowest life expectancies in the industrialized world...

Cheers,
Ben
