A trickle-up economy would work better for all- that's the difference for Dems

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-up_effect

Trickle down didn't work for Ronnie Rayguns, and it hasn't worked since. Obama tried it, but the GrOPers slammed him with the deficit that they don't care about now.

Put some money in our hands, we will drive the economy. Put it in the filthy rich hands and it goes overseas, or the stock market where it floats between the filthy rich people.

IMHO.

Some Americans would rather let the rich loot them as long as they think their least favorite groups are getting looted even more. It is like a guy letting a burglar rob his house as long as he thinks the burglar will take even more stuff from his black neighbor.
