trickle down

prehaps the worlds stupidist economic policy, based on the premis that if you make the rich ritcher, that they will somwhow improve the condition of the poorest. Involves a great mis-understanding of human nature (and the nature of econmics)

How the west oppresive goverments (Chilie, Mexico, most of Africa, many asian countries) strong, to avoid popular rebelions.

Trickle down Stress-o-nomics

The strategy imposed by a manager where they seek solutions to reduce their own stress level, so that their relaxed mood trickles down to the rest of the employees.

So what can you do to lower my stress level, so that your stress level is subsequently lowered? We need some basic Trickle Down Stress-o-nomics here."

Shit Trickle

A process by which staff receives the responsibility for problems made by and passed down from inept upper management. This occurrence typically results in staff handling angry phones calls regarding problems that they generally know nothing about but must attempt to correct. Their professional reputation might also be affected by this unfortunate process.

"My administrator messed up this project and now I'm gonna get all these angry phone calls. They're gonna think I'm responsible for it too. What a fuckin' shit trickle...".

trickle down theory

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?
