no specific policy paper was written with trickle down in the title it was never a reality? That is what sociopaths do. Force something on people and then when called on it deny their actions, often setting the stage for a new, and completely different, narrative. See the article here:
Thomas Sowell commentary: Trickle-down economics is a figment of liberal imaginations
by Tomas Sowell at the Columbus Dispatch
"SNIP....................................
While there have been all too many lies told in politics, most have some little tiny fraction of truth in them, to make them seem plausible. But the trickle-down lie is 100 percent lie.
It should win the contest both because of its purity no contaminating speck of truth and because of how many people have repeated it over the years, without any evidence being asked for or given.
Years ago, this column challenged anybody to quote any economist outside of an insane asylum who had ever advocated this trickle-down theory. Some readers said that somebody said that somebody else had advocated a trickle-down policy. But they could never name that somebody else and quote them.
Mayor de Blasio is by no means the first politician to denounce this non-existent theory. Back in 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama attacked what he called an economic philosophy which says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else.
