The funny thing is I thought we were mostly done with that when the elder Bush rightly referred to it as voodoo economics and distanced itself from it. I thought people understood the basic fallacies of trickle-down, that they would understand them even more as the world got more global.

If nothing else, I thought Halliburton’s move to Dubai would have waken people up, but it seems to have encouraged a lot of people to simply start running in a race to the bottom, wanting to turn the US into Somalia in order to attract business.
