trickle-down economics

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.
