  Politicians with their own self interests. It's not an actual serious economic theory.

    I never said it was. But it was pushed as an economic theory by politicians. It failed. I'm not sure what your point is, but I am sure that you're missing mine.

        I was. That comment just said "the failure of trickle down doesn't persuade you [...]" Trickle down was pushed by many politicians, and it failed. whether it's a real theory or not is totally irrelevant to the point.
