It’s only taken 40 years
My exact thought.
I’ll believe it when their candidate isn’t in an effective tie for the presidency
Trickle down used to be called horse and sparrow. The idea was that if a horse ate a whole lot of oats, some wouldn’t get digested and the sparrow could eat them. I wonder why they don’t use that metaphor today 🤔
Because it’s stupid easy to debunk with one question:
If you want to feed the sparrows, why don’t you give them oats directly instead of making them pick through horseshit?
Happy cake day! First one I’ve noticed since joining lemmy.
The sparrow in this analogy is of course the workers, who can pick the shit for the grain.
I don’t know, trickle down always sounded like piss play to me. Not much better, worse? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The revolution will not be televised. Can’t imagine that metaphor coming up on 60 minutes.
Yeah bruh, let’s wait until November before making a determination on that.
The trickle that you’re currently feeling is from the rich pricks pissing all over you, not from economics. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Only to blame its effects on democrats just as conservative news sources tell them.
All while they fall for the GOPs brand new “firehose of lies” scam. That or its low calorie sister-brand “torrent of bigotry”, which is also popular with the conservative crowd.
SOME Americans Are Wising Up to the GOP’s Tired Trickle-Down Scam. There are plenty who think it is wonderful, mostly the rich and “poorly educated”, but expertly propagandized.
Forty years too late, but I guess better than never.
Do these Americans have sufficiently low population density?
No?
Then it doesn’t matter how wise they are.
It must be the diapers that are stopping the trickling down.
It’ll trickle so much and so very very fast, you’ll say wow I’ve never been tricked on like that before, and you’re just gonna love it.
You’ll be tired of getting trickled on so hard. There’ll be so much trickling going on.
