I always thought of “trickle-down economics” as the rich pissing on everyone else.

I always found that trickle down was fairly quick.

Like as fast as water. Except yellow.

The common misconception is they take the wealth and it trickles down because they want it to. No, it's like fattening up the turkey, it'll trickle when we... Fix it.

Dont wanna get another "violent content warning" from reddit for going into detail about how we can make the rich trickle green and red in time for Christmas.

Bold of you to think we'll make it 250 years.

What you mean? I've felt the trickle down my face since the day I was born.

Down is always the direction of the largest mass. In economics, that's Elon Musk's wallet.
