Robert L. Mitten: Trickle-up enhances everyone

Regarding Mark Paul’s April 18 Point of View “In N.C., trickle-down tax cuts are just a trick”: I could not agree more.

To his, I will add one more voice. “... If you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The truth is just the reverse. Legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them.” – William Jennings Bryan.
