They have.

So I don't have to cut and paste and copy from multiple sources and citations, you can just read it directly, yourself.

Just enter this phrase into your google search bar:
400 richest people own wealth

The solution is to cut taxes, and SLASH spending.
So, you are not going to think about the points I tried to make. Okay.

But how in the world is your advice supposed to work? "The solution is to cut taxes, and SLASH spending".
You are advising we cut our revenue, and slash our spending? At the same time? How will we pay off our deficit?

If you are working 40 hours a week, and can't pay your bills, you cut your expenses - but the solution is NOT to also ask your boss to cut your work income to only 30 hours a week! That's crazy, Joey - think about it. Shouldn't we try and ask for some overtime to help pay off our bills? Not ask to cut our income further?

"Boss, I'm having some financial troubles at home. My wife and I have huge medical bills from the birth of our baby last month. It's put us thousands in debt, and we might lose our house now because we can't pay our mortgage and the hospital bills at the same time. Can you cut my income, please? We already have stopped buying formula and diapers, but we need more help. If I work 1/3 less, will your company grow so much that you can then give me a raise and I'll make more money?"

The above has been the GOP financial plan for our government since Reagan.
