trickle-down economics
n.

The worst and most absolutely illogical form of world capitalism. Holds that if you give money to people who are already rich, it will be invested and slowly "trickle down" to the hands of those who need the money. Doesn't ever work, and has no logic at all. Practiced by rightards and Republicunts. Was responsible for the economic disaster that was the Great Depression.
Example:
If you conservative dumbshits want the commies to come back, then just keep practicing those trickle-down economics...


trickle-down economics
when the government informs the ‘first’ property owners of America through esp about opportunities and the first church to pressure people into attendance.
Example:
Trickle-down economics made whites lose property since slavery and the first church be the least financially supported denomination.


trickle-down economics
Since the upper classes of any society (in particular the males in the upper classes) tend to masturbate more than the proletariat, it's thought their semen and vaginal discharge can help fertilize those in the poorer reaches of said society - this is trickle-down economics. Giving bankers tax breaks will free up more of their time for masturbation, allowing for more ejaculate, and more enrichment of the lower classes. Since rich persons tend on average to produce less semen and vaginal fluid, the word 'trickle' rather than 'gush' or 'explode' is used.
Example:
milton friedman was a big believer in trickle-down economics


Trickle down economics
A Failed economic policy that asserts that if you give tax cuts to the rich the profits will trickle down to the lower classes.
Time has shown that this Regan policy is nothing more then a scam to give the rich a Free Ride in society
Example:
Trickle down economics don't trickle down on me! Where's my money and my job? They been outsourced by some elitist rich snob.


trickle down economics
n. The most absurd economic theory that ever existed. It includes giving the rich large sums of money. Accordingly, the wealthy will then hoarde the money into banks and there will therefore, be less money in circulation.
Example:
Herbert Hoover used trickle down economics, taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy. He is responsible for the Great Depression.


Trickle Down Economics
Trickle Down Economics is a blatant strawman of supply-side economics used to demonize supporters of said system.
Those using the term assert that Republicans intend to cut taxes on the rich people, which will then, by some undefined mechanism, cause money to trickle down to the poor.
However, not one economist has ever published a theory on the mechanism behind this so called Trickle Down Theory.
This strawman mainly serves to demonize the Republicans for cutting taxes on the rich. The actual position of the Republicans, supply side economics, asserts a well known phenomenon, wherein cutting taxes on rich people will cause them to invest more money, thus opening new markets or expanding existing ones, creating jobs and generating wealth.
The origins of the term lie in a speech by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, wherein it is asserted that there are two economic theories, one according to which "If we make the rich people richer, somehow they will let a part trickle down to the rest of us.
The second theory ... is that if we make the average of mankind comfortable and secure, their prosperity will rise upwards, just as yeast rises up, through the ranks."
Roosevelt, a democrat ironically enough, mocked this idea himself, however, it has somehow become a staple in politics to claim that this nonexistant theory is somehow the economic position of the Republicans.
Example:
Trickle down economics has not worked even once.
By cutting the taxes for the rich, the money they save, so they claim, will some how trickle down to the poor.


trickle down economics
A government ecomomic plan in which taxes are lowered on the wealthy so that they have incentives to do things with the extra money they would have would lead it to 'trickle down' to the middle and lower classes.

For example, the wealthy might use the extra money to expand their businesses or buy more shares in the stock market, thus expanding the economy and providing more jobs for those in the middle and lower classes.

The wealthy might also spend the extra money on more goods and services, thus providing the middle and lower classes with more work.

Probably the most significant stream of money trickling down is from the extra money that the wealthy put in banks. Because there is more money in banks, there is more money for the middle and lower classes to borrow for buying houses and starting and expanding businesses.

Many liberals like to attack trickle down economics as an unfair benefit to the wealthy. Their mistake is that they ignore the idea of the "invisible hand" that is implicitly behind the idea for such an economic policy. Trickle down economics is good because it inevitably leads to more jobs and money for the middle and lower classes and to an expanding economy.
Example:
Liberals should actually take a class in macroeconomics before they start complaining about trickle down economics.
