"...trickle-down..."

Ronald Reagan proposed trickle down economics back in the 1980s, and it was proved then that next to nothing trickled down, because the fatcats that it was supposed to trickle down from just kept the money.

What is proved to work is trickle up. When people are provided wages that suffice to pay their bills and acquire goods, they spend their wages to pay their bills and acquire goods, which thereby trickle up to people that sell services and provide desirable goods.

Trickle up is what will work, and trickle down is just a euphemism for making the rich richer.

Thanks!
