Reverse Robin Hood.

Senator George Mitchell said this decades ago, and it is still true.

But, I guess, not true enough to make it stop.

And Tinkle Down on the MSM

Or, "Fork it over, fuckheads."

Like it says in the Bible the poor will always be with you

And it’s used widely.

Perhaps we can call it golden-shower economics to be more descriptive of what is happening. Or "shit-rolls-down hill" economics.

Similar to hurl's (#5) Deluge-up economics.

All controlled by the 1%.

The near-religious view that ultimate good is to send money skyward: as much as possible, as fast as possible, as high as possible. Any impediment, any bottleneck, anything that slows that process down is an anathema. Call those impediments Liberalism, socialism, even communism, but any constraint on maximized profit is a threat to The Way Things Ought To Be.

After all, it’s not “redistribution” if you call it “maximized profit” and “dividends”, right?

or as SNL said hosed

Trickle down economics: in the end, you're the one who's going to get pissed on.

Anyone who still falls for this garbage is a total idiot.

Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining pennies.

How about Rethug Three Card Monte? The oldest con game in town, and idiots are still falling for it.

There is no trickle down, there's just paying interest on what the billionaires steal as they loan it back to us to cover the deficit their thievery creates!

if you really want to spell it out.

"what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: 'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.'"

Brownback adopted the same policies advocated by trump and these policies failed

"Trickle down" is already supposed to be a pejorative for "supply side" economics. But if we need another one, GHW Bush called it voodoo economics, and it became known as Reaganomics, and during that time we went from the worlds largest creditor nation to the worlds largest debtor nation.

He LOVED Reagan and his bullshit supply-side econ, once he was picked for V.P.

Then he would say "Y'all hear that sucking sound?" "That's all your jobs going over seas."

I didn't support him, but I agreed with all of this!

a.k.a. the rich stealing from the poor and middle class.

Steal from the poor to give to the rich in hopes that they'll give us jobs to earn it back.

Works much better,actually anything works better... But if they would make sure everyone was making a decent living they would spend it and the money would "trickle" up and go into their pockets...In the end everyone would be much better off and happier
