Trickle-down has been revised

[radfringe]

The trickle-down theory of giving/diverting money to those at the top of the economic levels (1%-ers) and hoping some of it will trickle down has been revised.

It is now the Pie-crumb theory.

McCain wants the the 1%-ers to have the whole pie, and the rest of us can wait for crumbs to fall.

His recent reference to making a bigger pie is no different than back in 2000 when bush said "we ought to make the pie higher"

1. Hmm, I like this change

For some reason people are okay with the top 1% being richer than God as long as they are allowed to believe it will "trickle" on down to them, but who wants crumbs when there is tasty, tasty banana creme or dutch apple to be had? We need to stop appealing to the wallet and start appealing to the stomach.

2. I'm not a big fan of "pie"

I'd rather have cake. ;)

3. It never was "trickle down"

It was always "trickle on"! They have been pissing on the middle class for 8 yrs. it's time to piss on them a while! Take their money, take their loopholes, take their jobs. That's what they did to us. Turnabout is fair play. Watch them weep like infants!

8. Horse and Sparrow

I prefer this one, which is the original, particularly out here where horses are a plenty. If you feed the horse enough he will leave something on the ground behind him for the sparrows. Kinda helps the brain damaged get a better understanding of what trickle down really means. :evilgrin:
