You are replying with the common brainwashed propaganda.

It does not take away opportunity from one person for another person to have more opportunity. The premise of your argument is wrong and stupid.

The exact opposite effect is real. Being in proximity to wealthy people gives you MORE opportunities. You have the opportunity to do buisness with them. To be employed by them. To collabirate with them. To learn from them.

At every wealth level prople in america have more opportunity than anywhere else.

An orphan dropped on the street at 18 in america has more opportunity than an orphan dropped on the street at 18 anywhere else.

"Hur dur but he can't but shit like drumph" is NOT a valid refutation of that fact.

    I thouroughly answered the question. Try re reading it.

    Trickle down economics refers to welfare for the rich. None of what I said has anything to do with that.

      welfare from the rich.

      It's welfare FOR the rich, like bailouts. It was a term invented to justify bailouts for the rich.
