   Have you never heard of “trickle-down-economics”?!

Bill Maher has rightly identified trickle-down-economics as the rich saying to the poor “We’re pissing on you.”

   What’s that? Bush only gave the wealthy a tax cut?

Robert Reich, who, as a Clinton cabinet member, will no doubt be demonized by Dubya apologists, had some interesting suggestions along these lines.

   He’s raised how much for his “re-election”? Surely not!

Why is he spending anything on his re-selection at this point? He doesn’t have any Republican competitors for the ballot?

Dave!

(...) Richard: use Bush’s tax cut to buy shares in these companies and live on the dividend. When you spend the income, your unemployed countrymen will get jobs flipping ‘burgers (say) for you! Have you never heard of “trickle-down-economics”?! (...) (21 years ago, 26-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
