Another plus for Charles is that he is a man, despite his faults is a genuinely kind man who does a lot to save Industry. We have a Pot Bank in Burslem, Staffordshire that he saved from going under and helped to make it a success, it is now a thriving business that employs local people. It has it's own shop selling it's wares and a museum. It has also been seen on the Drama Peaky Blinders as the building and the canal fitted the time period it was set in. It is also home to the show The Great Potteries Throw Down seen in many counties now around the world and has a massive fan base.He still comes to visit to see how things are progressing and the people who work there say he takes time to speak to them all about how they are and what projects ts they are working on. Not many people would take a interest like he does? That Andrew would'nt and neither would the narcissistic Harkles H&M who care only about themselves and what's in if for them, they hate the common working class as they call us. I can see William and Kate taking over the visits when Charles gets a lot older and unable to do so. They are very popular and caring and are only too happy to speak to everyone working there. Won't find William and Kate shunning people like his brother, uncle and their gold digging families.when the time comes William and Kate will make a wonderful King and Queen Consort. Reckon it's time for King Charles to follow in the footsteps of Queen Margerite of Denmark and remove the titles off all none working senior roles and grandchildren who are not in line to the throne like William, George and Louie when the children are of age. Princess Chaotte is in line to be The Princess Royal should Anne die as Charlotte is growing up. Our late Queen has already made arrangements for this to happen when her beloved daughter joins her and her father in Heaven. A lot of Royal's will be very unhappy and we all know which ones they are, H&M, their kids, Andy, Beatrice and Eugenie and a lot of other hangers on. I reckon Charles will wait until Harry's book comes out, wrote by HER as he lacks the intelligence to go think for himself. That's when they won't know what's hit them and they can't do a thing about it. After the way the gruesome twosome and lardy ass Andy treated his parents and Harry his treated his grandparents they deserve everything they get and only themselves to blame for bring greedy,jealous,lying hypocritical parasites, have no sympathy for any of them.

What I find hilarious is that no one benefits for Truss’ mini budget. Higher income earners do indeed save some tax money but their pensions and savings are being wiped out simultaneously (assuming these are invested in foreign markets which most are). So in reality, the people she’s meant to be helping are actually more worse off despite the tax cut. Hats off to her. I didn’t think it was possible to introduce a policy that helps exactly 0 people in the country.

It's actually a continuation of a fascinating trend in "conservative" economics. Policies that explicitly benefit the rich generally harm the middle class, which has a knock on effect of shrinking the number of buyers in any consumer level market. When everything contracts, the _overall_ amount of wealth that can be made is smaller. Overall effect: the rich get a larger _percentage_ of the wealth, but since there's less wealth to be made anyway, their overall earnings can _shrink._ So then what's the f-ing point of benefiting the rich?

Their reasons for the tax cuts as well are economically illiterate, it doesn't stimulate economic growth if you cut taxes on the rich they just save that money as they already have savings to spend money on stuff. Whereas if you give the poor a tax cut they spend 100% of the money as they need to live some will spend more than 100% (small businesses loans, mortgages etc). It's called Marginal Propensity to Consume and is basic economics.

Trickle down economics best analogy, is like those pets that wait, under the table, while their owner is eating, to pick up any dropped scraps. Other can be when, in the middle ages, servants waited for the lords to finish eating, to pick up whatever their master left or dropped.

If Truss survivves a year then she'll be saying that she's had record economic growth - and she'll be right. Like, if I empty my bank account till theres £2 and then I deposit £8, that's exponential growth. But if I have £1000 and deposit £8 that's below inflation so it's effectively shrinking. Technically she'll be right, but only because she started by pushing the country to the brink of bankruptcy.

In the US, we've been told the Trickle Down Economics theory will make everyone better off financially since Reagan (1980's). It did help, the rich. Even now some in Washington DC, are still trying to claim that these neoliberalism ideas would work out great even with all the evidence that they don't. I hope that the UK abandons this notion that making the rich richer will help those not as rich, it never works.
