Kinda flies in the face of conventional economic theory espoused by Milton Friedman and others

Please don't confuse "conventional" with ideology. Anyone with half a brain understands the more people making money means more people spending money which means growing economy. It just has to grow at a healthy pace.

The only people who like to pretend this doesn't work are right wing bats who just want you to believe trickle down economics works. What is happening in Seattle "IS" conventional economic theory at play..
