(Also called voodoo or reverse robin hood economics)
Trickle down economics in todays economic climate is like offering someone with lung cancer a pack of smokes.
Fair enough rich people should support it, hell if i was rich so would i! But why the hell do the poorest people in society support it? It's like when someone in the street who's mugging you at gunpoint realises he has no bullets; what do you do?
1) kick the crap out of him and call the police. (or)
2)offer him some bullets you have in your pocket.
crazy isn't it?

Get the Tricklish mug.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#$%^*@!!!!!!!!

Get the tricky-tricky mug.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.
