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

A shower in which you only apply body wash to the top of your body, allowing it to trickle down to your lower body in order to wash it instead of applying it yourself. Named after Ronald Reagan's famous use of "Trick Down Economics" which is known for being a failure.
Johnny: Bruh, your ass fucking STINKS.
Ronald: Really? I have been taking trickle down showers every day for a week, I should smell great!
Johnny: Bro you legit have not cleaned your ass for a week.

The theory that the views, values, beliefs, opinions and superstitions of the Super Rich can be made to trickle down to the rest of the populace forcibly. Because money is power, as the divide between the rich and the poor grows wider (as tax policy becomes less progressive via policy manipulations), eventually a very small portion of the population holds the vast majority of the wealth. Combined with a chronic and severe lobbyist problem and systematic removal of sane limitations on political ad spending, the result is that vast wealth can significantly affect public policy. The concept of Democracy (one person, one vote) begins to break down as the wealth unbalance becomes extreme. The effect is self-serving: the power of the super wealthy to steer policy grows, as does their wealth, due to their undue influence. The result is that logically-defective memes can trickle down to the population and cause otherwise reasonable people to vote against their own interests and even against the most fundamental founding principles of the nation. Refer to definition of "American Taliban".
Dude A: Why the fuck would you vote for him? He's promised to pass his Christian beliefs in to law and lower taxes AGAIN on the super rich (which includes him, by the way). Do we really want to teach intelligent design instead of evolution in public schools and create a new class of trillionaires?
Dude B: This is a Christian Nation! More guns! Drill baby drill! America rules! We're far superior to those muslim degenerates with all those wacky religious laws. The only thing that would make America better is banning the teaching of evolution, arming all of our teachers, and defining abortion as murder. Oh, and taxes are illegal. I built that.
Dude A: That's some seriously fucked up black-belt-level Rupert Murdoch trickle down bullshit. We're not also banning the teaching of trickle down theory, are we?

Theory saying that if the rich get richer they will give their surplus cash to the poor. Of course this theory assumes that the rich aren't greedy bastards that will horde all their money in banks, spend it on two million dollar trips to space which benefit no one except the Russians that take them there, or blow it all on a Super Sweet Sixteen for their retarded daughters who get pissed that their parents got them the $200,000 car instead of the $300,000.
Factory Worker: Are you going to give us all pay raises since we've been working harder?
Factory Owner: Nope,my daughter want to get Tupac for her Sweet Sixteen.
Factory Worker: Isn't he dead?
Factory Owner: Yup, I had to spend your Christmas bonuses to dig him up.
Factory Worker: What the hell? What happened to the trickle down theory?

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.

If you conservative dumbshits want the commies to come back, then just keep practicing those trickle-down economics...
