Does anyone really know what trickle means?
A small, slow, or irregular quantity of anything coming, going, or proceeding.
Note the irregular part.

Around 1995 i got tired of working in a Factory and quit.
I started an ISP and ran that for awhile.
Sold it and went into Construction cause I love doing that type work.
I have NEVER collected so called 'benefits' or asked for help with my business.
When stuff hit the fan?
I had to layoff the Guys that worked for and with me.
That was probably the lowest point in my working life.
Sure it was only 7 Guys Max.
But I was the one that wrote them Good checks every week.
I took care of them on road and made sure the Rooms were nice and never far from needed services.
They worked hard, long hours.

You know what trickle down did for me and them?
Not a DAMNED thing!

I'd post about the last 'Trickle down' I actually had.
But that's X-rated and would get me in trouble.

The overall point of my last two posts, was that the rich just get richer and the poor just get poorer. The whole "trickle down" thing to me, seems like just some BS excuse to justify the "tax breaks for the rich" or whatever other perks they're getting.

If they were genuinly creating jobs i can see the logic, but they aren't. All i've seen lately, is a guilded elite that work/milk/sell out a company for all the money they can make for few years, and then they move on to their next abomination.

I agree with you.
My last Factory job?
I got a Tie pin for 5 years Service.
They gave it to me while I was on the job.
I put it in one of my ear ring holes cause I had no where else to put it at the time.

I got wrote up for "Disrespecting the Company".
I quite shortly after.
