Trickle down worked extremely well for those who controlled the rate of trickle.

  “trickle” doesn’t even sound good, I don’t think anyone could possibly be fooled by this, it was always a sham

    “trickle down” wasn't what proponents called it, it's something a comedian called it derogatorily that stuck. Ditto “voodoo economics”, except the critic wasn't a comedian, but a politician (of the party that rejected the criticism and went whole hog on the policy, but still later nominated him as, and got him elected, President.)

      ah ha, that makes a lot for sense, thanks

  There never was any rate of trickle (down, at least).
