It’s not just that our political system supports trickle down economics. It *is* a system of trickle down economics. Those within that system are trained to perpetuate it. Only if you’re schooled within the larger context of establishment corruption are you considered qualified to maintain it. Our job is to peacefully, wisely and elegantly smash the machine.

Populists all about trickle down civil rights. Hell, you're mad LBJ signed the CRA into law & pissed off white southerners. Smash the machine? You mean harm Marginalized Communities. Y'all just need to stop thinking Black people are stupid. You're heard loud and clear! 🙄

Yeah, you're going to be nowhere near that machine in your lifetime.

All you have to do is to convince the richest 10% that they should continue to work harder/smarter while their earnings >$100K/yr are taxed at ~70%. Tell them working hard for others is the right thing to do.

Smashing the machine like this: "[MW is] going to be like David and defeat…with just a slingshot. “We’re going to get…right between the eyes,” she said. “David got Goliath in his third eye, where he had no defense"(NYT)? "In my defenselessness my safety lies" (ACIM).??

Nothing trickles down

The is no theory or principle called “trickle down economics”. Not taught anywhere in any economics study. This was something that the Democrats started against Regan in the 80s because they were pissed at his tax cuts.

Ummm ok you lost me. We live in a SUPPOSED system of trickle down economics but in REALITY we live in a system of spewing up economics
