What’s trickled down is the hate and the solipsism of the
conservative elite who have pushed what
they knew to be the bogus trickle down
economic theory. It is a trickle down of
morality not of the economy. They have connected with the baser elements
of our morality, that, yes, exists in all levels of society. Notwithstanding the virulence of these baser
emotions extant in all sections of the
non-elite, it has been the conservative elite that have prayed upon and
stimulated these emotional and (im)moral proclivities. No matter how disguised ( with perhaps some self-delusion) the fear and greed of our society is trickling
down from , supported by, the elite who
will best be served by such divisive tactics.
As for the economic trickle down malarkey, I am with David Cay Johnston who refutes that and more accurately calls it "Niagra Falls, Up"
