Yes you did suggest a “law”. I’m glad you don’t actually believe it a good idea.
Yes I agree that capitalism is easily corrupted by governments. That is why I suggest the less government the better.
If you google ”Trickle-down economics” you will discover it was a Democratic slur designed to fight President Reagan’s tax cuts. Yes it is a lie and never a Republican mantra. I think you have some good intentions. Thomas Sowell wrote a great book that may reframe some of your solutions.
