Isn't Trump a living, breathing example of why Trickle Down, Voodoo economics don't work

He's a "billionaire" that hasn't paid taxes over decades. So, where are all of the middle class paying jobs that he has created? Where are the factories that he opened across the Northeast and Midwest?

Given all that he's worth and paying no taxes at all, we should be swimming in jobs, right? We should have negative unemployment.

--On Edit from CNN--

According to PrivCo, the Trump Organization has 22,450 employees and brought in $9.5 billion in annual revenue last year.

The rich create jobs out of the goodness of their hearts! Yep, every time they get a new tax break, their first thought is "I should go out and create new jobs and lose money just because that's how Paul Ryan sez it works."
