Trump and other Republican politicians are trying their best to revive their nonsensical horse-and-sparrow supply-side rationale so the rest of us can pay to make the rich far richer.
Trickle down used to be called horse and sparrow. The idea was that if a horse ate a whole lot of oats, some wouldn’t get digested and the sparrow could eat them. I wonder why they don’t use that metaphor today 🤔

Because it’s stupid easy to debunk with one question:
Happy cake day! First one I’ve noticed since joining lemmy.
I don’t know, trickle down always sounded like piss play to me. Not much better, worse? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The sparrow in this analogy is of course the workers, who can pick the shit for the grain.
The revolution will not be televised. Can’t imagine that metaphor coming up on 60 minutes.
