    If you are asking this seriously, trickle-down economics is an absurd nonsense theory, there are no examples of it.

    Also, money changing hands is not what creates wealth, and those security details would be just an artificially maintained middle-class that can never be large.

      […] trickle-down economics is an absurd nonsense theory […]

      Would you mind defining exactly what you mean by “trickle down economics”?

        If it had a definition, it wouldn’t be nonsense, would it?

        “Trickle down economics” is a rhetoric instrument by which people try to convince the public that taxing poor people and fiscally spending in rich people will increase the poor people’s quality of life.

          If it had a definition, it wouldn’t be nonsense, would it?

          It would depend on the definition in question. The term in a vacuum is just a collection of words — what those words mean is rather important, imo.
