It's also called horse and sparrow economics. The horse eats the oats and the sparrow eats from the horse poop.

Tru dat!

Nothing trickles down!

Trickle-down economics doesn't grow the economy. But it drives down wages; explodes federal national debt; & widens inequality

The interest on debt is now $88b a day. The daily payment combined spent on the military & education.

Only wee/poo trickles downwards.

I saw a homeless person, and I was going to give him Β£20. Then I had a better idea. I went to the most affluent area I know, and I posted Β£20 through the letterbox of the biggest house. I’m sure it will trickle down to him in no time πŸ˜‰

The Ronald Reagan presidency was not as good as mainstream media would have you believe. In fact it was disastrous overall.

Like Thatcher in the UK. Total BS.
Created political & social systems that are still screwing us over, and no politician has the balls to change it.

A HUGE component of this is not only the tax cuts for the corps and billionaires but the influence of dark money injected into the pol. system through Citizens United!

This has to be overturned! We have to have FULL transparency into who is funding the political campaigns of our elected leaders!

Can you believe Republican politicians convince their middle and low income voters that they are paying for free healthcare etc for poor democrats and immigrants? Or that democrats blow up the deficit with spending on poor people?

Very dumb.

You are so silly. Everyone figured out that trickle-down economics doesn't work, so we renamed it to "don't tax the job creators." Please get on board with our latest disinformation phraseology.

I remember hearing the phrase trickle down economics in the 80's as a kid and even then it didn't sound right. The older I have become the less right it has been proven.
