第一个远程 classwork：Trickle-down Economics (Due Wednesday 11:59 pm)

 No-zoom classes
下滲經濟學（英語：trickle-down economics，又譯為滴流經濟學、滲滴式經濟學、滴漏經濟學）是源於美國的經濟術語，用于描述给富人及企业减税可惠及所有人包括贫苦大众的经济政策（如雷根经济学、供給面學派與自由市场）。该主张认为政府對富人階級減免稅收與向企业提供經濟上的優待政策，將可改善經濟整體，最終會使社會中的貧困階層人民也得到生活上的改善。该主张反對以徵稅手段來減少社會中的貧富差距，也往往削減對貧窮階層進行社會救助。左派经济学家在问题讨论中，指该主张含贬义，多用于讽刺及批评。较客观的批评是有关经济政策不能刺激经济，但一定会導致贫富差距扩大，通胀率及赤字上升。

術語起源於美國幽默作家威爾·羅傑斯（Will Rogers），在經濟大蕭條時，他曾說：「把錢都給上層富人，希望它可以一滴一滴流到穷人手里。」（money was all appropriated for the top in hopes that it would trickle down to the needy）。

当前，美国国会正在协议通过历史上最大的经济刺激计划： 2万亿美元。 周日晚参议院提出的版本以47:47 票搁浅（通过需要60票）。 其中最大的症结点就是对于大财团大企业的补助的问题。 参议院民主党人认为援助计划中， 对于企业的补助没有添加不得用于给企业高管加薪， 不得用于股票买回-stock buyback等条款， 以及让美联储可以有4260亿的基金可以无限制地贷款给企业等过度偏向于援助大企业而不是普通民众。 这些争论都是长期以来对 trickle down economics 是否valid 的反映。

请在下方评论处用 4-5 行的长度 提出你的 claim 然后提出文件中的证据支持你的claim。然后用 3-4 行的长度 回应一位同学表示 你赞成或反对， 为什么？老师有四个班， 所以不一定要是你的同班同学。

问题：你觉得 trickle-down economics 也就是给富人及企业减税可惠及所有人，包括贫苦大众的经济政策 是否一个合理的经济理论？为什么？
