Trickle-down should be called GOP Wealth Redistribution. Because it is.
Our friends on the other side of the aisle love to refer to any tax, non-defense expenditure or social program as wealth redistribution and then, in the next breath, refer to a tax cut which is redistributive upwards as a job creating measure.
They love that term because it evokes Soviet totalitarianism. What would the pukes do when called on their shit?
