Social Deprivation
Social Deprivation - a political and/or economic policy that seeks to enrich the wealthiest members of a society by minimizing the upkeep of the public commons and social institutions - especially those providing services and regulation related to health, impoverishment and education.
As a result of the Governor's policy of Social Deprivation, tax revenue that should have gone to road and bridge repair was instead given to the wealthiest citizens of the state in the form of a millionaire tax break.

worm-killer
A vegan.
That worm-killer just didn't get it - how the lives of those worms, field-mice and insects killed during crop production are just as precious as those of the domesticated animals she claims to hold dear.

trickle-down economics
The great thing about trickle-down economics is that every time I purchase a new yacht or Humvee it helps out every member of society. Don't see this five course meal and seven hundred dollar bottle of wine as an example of greed and excessive consumption, think of it as a consumer-based economic stimulus package. Now then, what's fifteen percent of three thousand dollars? Or maybe I should only tip ten, the waiter forgot to put THREE lemons in my water!
