Trickle down



What is trickle down? Trickle down is this. I make more money than you do. Therefore I should pay less in taxes, percentage-wise than you. Why? because I may spend some of that money, and eventually it may create jobs. 

It is an economic myth invented as a rationalization for an inequitable burden by those who benefit from the inequity.

Even those who argue it, recognize it can only be a trickle at best.

In contrast, "flow up" is an economic reality. Middle class households that are allowed to keep more of their income will spend it, guaranteed, growing the economy for everyone.
