David Stockman was one of the main architects of Ronald Reagan's economic policies and the premise that if we let rich folks pay less taxes, benefits will "trickle down" to aid the middle class and the poor. He later turned on that plan and described it all as a "trojan horse designed to bring down the top tax rate for the wealthy." In this current article, he really turns on his old philosophy and on darn near every fiscal policy the Republican party is now pushing.
