My definition of "works" of course is likely different. I have no particular social goal in mind at all other than people get to keep what they earn.

Trickle down works if you assume that everyone is generous, and will share their government "freebies" on the people with less money. As we all know, this is not how the world works. I'd say that just about all of this money ends up accruing interest in an account somewhere (maybe not even in the us) instead of where it should go according to the theory: Main street.

I'm sure the republicans know this, they're not dumb, But they have us just where they want us. Trickle down is just a cover word; an excuse so they can give tax breaks to the rich and powerful who have a huge influence in Washington, but still make it seem like they're helping the average american.
