    "The money was all appropriated for the top in hopes that it would trickle down to the needy.

    Mr. Hoover didn't know that the money trickled up.

    Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow.

    Bit it will at least have passed through the poor fellow's hand."
    ~Will Rogers

  2. “‘There are two ideas of government,’ William Jennings Bryan said. ‘There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up and through every class which rests upon them.’”

  4. Trickling Down?

    I refuse to surrender my country to people who think climate change is fake and trickle down is real.

  5. "I don't believe - anywhere - in the trickle-down theory. But I do with Free Trade, because it does trickle down. Because all the businesses that you can get a hold of, who can trade with the new partner ... What's wrong with trading with India, and China, and everybody else? "

    Where do I start with this? It's the same inane waffle Business Idiots were trotting out in defence of corporate globalization in the 1990s.

  6. Und für wenn das naiv klingt:

    Für mich klingt #trickledown naiv.

  7. Wenn Friedrich #Merz davon redet, dass wir uns den #Sozialstaat nicht mehr leisten können, halte ich dagegen, dass wir es sehr wohl können, wenn wir zum Beispiel schlechte Investitionen beenden.
    #CDU geführte Regierungen konnten sich über Jahrzehnte immer wieder Entlastungen und Geschenke in Richtung Wirtschaft und Reiche leisten, ohne dass von #trickledown auch nur ein Hauch zu spüren war.

    Außerdem sollten wir tunlichst die ausufernde Steuerkriminalität einschränken!

    Dann klappts auch mit dem Sozialstaat!

  8. Remember, if "Livin' on a Prayer" is the way you have to live your life it means that someone else is getting even richer at your expense.

    #Trickledown only benefits the rich.

  9. Yep, it's a #FireHoseUp, not a #TrickleDown #Economy.

    What's wrong with a huge #WealthGap? Let me count the ways.(Cont)

    The CEOs fighting the CEO tax have the widest pay gaps in S.F.
