trickle-down economics

Since the upper classes of any society (in particular the males in the upper classes) tend to masturbate more than the proletariat, it's thought their semen and vaginal discharge can help fertilize those in the poorer reaches of said society - this is trickle-down economics. Giving bankers tax breaks will free up more of their time for masturbation, allowing for more ejaculate, and more enrichment of the lower classes. Since rich persons tend on average to produce less semen and vaginal fluid, the word 'trickle' rather than 'gush' or 'explode' is used.

trickle down economics

A government ecomomic plan in which taxes are lowered on the wealthy so that they have incentives to do things with the extra money they would have would lead it to 'trickle down' to the middle and lower classes.

For example, the wealthy might use the extra money to expand their businesses or buy more shares in the stock market, thus expanding the economy and providing more jobs for those in the middle and lower classes.

The wealthy might also spend the extra money on more goods and services, thus providing the middle and lower classes with more work.

Probably the most significant stream of money trickling down is from the extra money that the wealthy put in banks. Because there is more money in banks, there is more money for the middle and lower classes to borrow for buying houses and starting and expanding businesses.

Many liberals like to attack trickle down economics as an unfair benefit to the wealthy. Their mistake is that they ignore the idea of the "invisible hand" that is implicitly behind the idea for such an economic policy. Trickle down economics is good because it inevitably leads to more jobs and money for the middle and lower classes and to an expanding economy.
Liberals should actually take a class in macroeconomics before they start complaining about trickle down economics.

Trickle-down economics

When the rich piss on the working class and small business and tell us it's good for us.
What's that foul-smelling yellow liquid trickling down my neck? Oh shit, more trickle-down economics. Thanks, Australian Liberal Party / Republicans / British Conservative Party / insert fascist right-wing party here.

The theory that a male standing in front of a urinal--no matter how much he squeezes, pulls, pushes, wipes, or waits--has a 100% probability of urinating after he has already pulled up his pants and finished relieving himself. Being a theory, it is impossible to prove, but the experience of billions of men of all ages and throughout all time have almost made the statement a truism.
Alex (while relieving himself in front of a urinal): Hey, didn't Reagan say taxing the rich less would mean more jobs and economic opportunities for simple folk like us?

Ken (while relieving himself in an adjacent urinal): I think so. Well, hey, he gave it his best shot. Now hurry up, we're going to be late for the foreclosure hearing. (Zips up.)

Alex: Alright. (Zips up, then feels a trickle of liquid go down his leg.) WTF?? Damn you trickle down theory (non-economic theory)!!!

Ken: Haha. Got you again, huh? Looks like I was one of the lucky ones. (Feels a trickle down his leg) MOTHER#$%^*@!!!!!!!!
