Trump and other Republican politicians are trying their best to revive their nonsensical horse-and-sparrow supply-side rationale so the rest of us can pay to make the rich far richer.
Trickle down used to be called horse and sparrow. The idea was that if a horse ate a whole lot of oats, some wouldn’t get digested and the sparrow could eat them. I wonder why they don’t use that metaphor today 🤔

Because it’s stupid easy to debunk with one question:
Happy cake day! First one I’ve noticed since joining lemmy.
The sparrow in this analogy is of course the workers, who can pick the shit for the grain.
I don’t know, trickle down always sounded like piss play to me. Not much better, worse? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The revolution will not be televised. Can’t imagine that metaphor coming up on 60 minutes.
