Trickle-Down EconomicsDoesn't it help to put a face ar two in the trickle down equation.

Trickle-down Economics

We all know what trickles down.

Pay attention, because this is complicated. Give the government's money
to the very wealthy and they will do business things that will cause
trickle effects to the little people. I got one of my trickle downs
today. My property taxes went up because the Federal Government stopped
funding state and county programs to give the money to the very wealthy.
That would be to help me out and I'll feel a lot better about paying for
these services because it represents trickle-down economics. My energy
costs at the gas pump went up about 20-30% because some very wealthy
companies who run wars need the oil, and have driven up the price. On
the other hand, it certainly represents trickle-down economics. That's
about as complicated as it gets, and just keeps repeating itself in your
wallet. It's obvious why this trickle-down economic theory is so popular,
because if there is less money in your wallet, there is more in someone
elses. That would be the every wealthy someone elses wallet. Someone,
who will go unnamed, but does not believe in democracy or he would have
said, "the job's yours, Al, you got half a million more votes," does not
want us to misinterpret this as class warfare. It's probably much too
complex for us voters to understand. Did you ever hear of bottoms-up
economics?
