    […] 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.

        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.
