This is not directly related to your comment but the funny thing about the "trickle down" metaphor is that it actually makes a very strong case against Reaganomics. "Water", in the metaphor, is obviously money and as we all know water (for the most part) "trickles down" from places where there is less of it to places where there is more of it. The rich get richer. The poor stay poorer. Without regular and constant application of outside force in the form of regulation, taxation, redistribution of wealth, monopoly breakups, etc (in the metaphor, this is represented by the Sun) all wealth eventually pools in the few oceans and everywhere else is barren.
- pandaman 3y agoIt's funny because the "trickle down" metaphor has been made up by a Democrat humorist [1]. On the same note, why would you think it was made up for Republicans? 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics
