Are Republicans and Conservatives realizing Trickle Down Economics Does not work?

Take back my country. Leaving the EU. Conservatives are upset, fighting back. Conservatives see loss of jobs, loss of income, less services. Normal regular people, working class people are seeing factories gone, things made over seas and an influx of immigrants. NAFTA, CAFTA, EU, PPP, trade deals, jobs in China, stagnate wages for 30 years, the list can go on and on. Conservatives have a reason to be upset. Conservatives should be angry. Wall Street bailouts started in the US the Tea party and they were right to be upset. People losing housing and bankers being bailed out. The thing is that they have been lied to by business, companies and the Republican Party. The Republican party stands for business. Tax cuts for the rich, reduced spending, less entitlements. Business and the rich do not need these things, but people do. Trade agreements help business and yes they bring lower prices. But at what cost? Conservatives finally see the cost in lost wages, lost jobs, devastated cities. Republican's blame liberals or Democrats. Most conservative, working class people blame liberals and Democrats. That is too bad as liberal policies will help all people. Raising taxes on the rich, spending programs for roads, schools bridges, expanding Social Security and health care help working and lower class people. Conservatives love Reagan and trickle down economics, and the only problem is that it hurts workers, middle and lower class people. I understand the reasons Republicans are mad at the establishment. As Democrats were staging the Gun sit in, the Republican House voted on giving a perk to Wall Street Traders-they do not have to have a fiduciary responsibility for their clients. In other words, a broker does not have to do what is in the best interest of it clients, they just do what is in their own best interest. They can recommend a stock that will go down in value, hurt their client but make the broker a lot of money. Trickle Down Economics-right. Ted Cruz in the campaign was talking about getting rid of the EPA, abolishing the IRS, cutting the debt and all of these things are for business interests not the people. Trickle down economics is horrible the people need to realize business does not have the best interests of Americans. Trump will not help working class people. I have no idea when Trump supporters will get that. Trump is only out for himself-typical business person. Democrats do support business and have corporations as special interests. The idea though is liberal policies help people, all people and not just business. Conservatives need to see who is the real problem-business, and their party leaders.
