Trickle-down theory is a monstrous lie intended to justify the rich getting richer

[Zorro]

One of the biggest lies foisted on the American people is that as rich people get richer, we all benefit — the so-called trickle-down theory.

For decades, working families have been told not to worry about the growing wealth gap between the nation’s haves and have-nots. A rising tide lifts all boats, we’ve been told with encouraging smiles and pats on the back.

The magnitude of the deception borders on monstrous.

William Darity, a professor of public policy at Duke University, said it’s “nonsensical” to think that greater wealth for the rich translates to improved fortunes for everyone else.

2. The filthy rich always find a way to con the rest of us

Into letting them keep their stolen wealth.

Look how Putin plunders Russia all the while he is responsible for the 2 (not just 1) greatest nuclear disasters in the history of Russia. At this rate, only a small area inside the country will be free from dangerous radioactive contamination and Putin will be the only one allowed there.

3. But Republicans continue to believe it

Or they just think it's okay for the wealthy to be the new lords of the manor.

4. Trickledown monarchy

They are the same thing and believe the same thing that Benedict Arnold believed. Tell me you’ll make me rich and I’ll do anything whether it happens or not.
