Trickle-down Economics

--- 2007-07-30 ---

The problem with trickle-down economics is that it is just that - a trickle. What's the meaning of a trickle down effect when the government is pouring bucket loads of tax breaks on the super rich - at a faster rate than any of it can trickle down to the rest of society?

It's all bull crap, that's what it is - merely a bogus concept that sounds half right enough for fools to believe, but that really isn't backed up by the stark reality. With the amount of benefits and advantages that are bestowed upon the holders of wealth, we can't do with just a trickle down effect - we need a bloody flood down effect.

All the wealth is damming at the top, and eventually that dam has got to burst its precarious banks. Somebody, please poke a hole somewhere - just one small little weak spot is all we need to start a fissure running and then watch as the whole thing crumbles, letting all the stockpiles of ill-gotten gains rain down upon the masses and once again make the ground of this society fertile and abundant with prosperity for all.
