Yeah, the only thing that ever trickled down was the tax burden.

Republicans cut taxes for the rich, so the federal government has less money, so they cut funds that go to states and local governments. So now state and local governments have less money, so they raise taxes and fees. So you pay higher tuition at state colleges (which makes more money for the student leans companies), you pay higher DMV fees, higher sales taxes, higher fees to enter State and National parks, higher utility fees and taxes, and dont' forget about one third of your cell phone bill is taxes, and they just nickle and dime yoiu to death to make up for those tax cuts for the rich. Property taxes usually remain the same because the rich own a lot of property.
