I'm more of a believer in "Piñata economics" myself
Fire up the meat grinder! I gotta eat
Of course trickle down works. I just don't get how people came to believe that the rich people (i.e. the place with all the money/water) is the top of the mountain and the poor people were the ocean.
There are so many reasons why money constantly trickles from the poor all the way down to the rich.
What an interesting perspective, the pyramid was upside down all along.
It's actually more of a funnel
Hey, it's not like it was tried and failed before. Remember how well it worked the the 20's?
Seriously, can we not with the using mental illness as an insult?
It's Ron being an insensitive prick, that's the joke.
That doesn't make the "joke" any less ableist.
Ron is a caricature. So if he uses such a comparison it's basically being criticized as being a bad and insensitive one. So this meme does already condemn the use.
How dare you use Rob Swanson for this meme.
Whatever you do, don't look up Nick Offerman and his politics - I'd hate for that little fantasy safe space in your head to be squeezed out by reality.
So he's a liberal who supports establishment Democrats? Considering how you worded it, I expected something more scandalous and less ... boring
This is a scene from parks and rec. he’s in character.
Wait - you mean to tell me that Parks and Recreation isn't real? That I was talking about the actor?
This is a noodle scratcher.
You know the actor is very liberal right? What're you gonna do now, threaten to kill us?
Wow
Rob
is that one of Ron's secret siblings?
One of the best memes I have seen on Lemmy so far and there are a few really good ones in that collection already!
Thank you, have a good day, Gamey.
Weekly reminder that "trickle down economics" was always meant as a criticism. Coined by Will Rogers
This election was lost four and six years ago, not this year. They [Republicans] didn't start thinking of the old common fellow till just as they started out on the election tour. The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the driest little spot. But he didn't know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow's hands. They saved the big banks, but the little ones went up the flue.
today I learned...
