It has not been a distaster for the multimillionaires who dreamed up the scam, only who those who voted for it.

schoolbusjon.bsky.social•87 days ago

When you say "disaster"...disaster for whom? Not the trickler.

terryz.bsky.social•87 days ago

"Trickle Down Economics" has been a thing since the Great Depression.

ardentarchivist.bsky.social•88 days ago

Would love one of those shirts, but all I get is this:

Same, from Australia.

kathyartist.bsky.social•88 days ago

And me. I'm in the UK. Anything to do with it?

Is it all cotton or a blend?

Unions destroy wealth… Wealth-creation is realized through economic freedom, low taxes, and limited government.

jenk1945.bsky.social•86 days ago

Ordered the T-shirt! There is no such things as Trickle
down economics because it never benefits anyone except those at the top!
It is just a scam!

ava4bleue.bsky.social•87 days ago

it’s a scam brought to you by the republicans

Keynesian economics are half-measures. Until we decouple capitalism from the economy, we're always going to be one quarterly report away from dystopia and one election away from fascism.

bar0ke1112.bsky.social•88 days ago

Trickle down economics was designed to be a disaster for everyone not already a billionaire. “Voodoo economics” according to George H. W. Bush, until he agreed to be Reagan’s VP.

unhipcat.bsky.social•88 days ago

the only people who say trickle down economics works are the poor ignorant fools at the bottom who will never see a penny of it and the wealthy uncaring liars at the top who know it doesn’t.

therealmarzaeth.bsky.social•88 days ago

Charging 32 bucks for a $3 shirt with paint that costs around 65 cents, is one hell of a scam. I say this, as an experienced silk screen artist.

designer-shakil.bsky.social•87 days ago

Trickle down economics could have been addressed during your administration but you didn’t, why?

vicstar64.bsky.social•88 days ago

Ain’t it the truth

shonlittle.bsky.social•88 days ago

Turns out the only thing trickling down is CEOs’ tears of joy.

the-billiam.bsky.social•88 days ago

I liked it better when they called it "horse and sparrow" economics.

the-billiam.bsky.social•88 days ago

"If you feed the horses too many oats, they can't digest all of it and will shit the extras out for the sparrows to pick through!"

Okay, but if we just *give* the oats to the sparrows, the horses will still have enough *and* the birds won't have to pick through horseshit to eat.

workedforfredtrump.bsky.social•88 days ago

There were Republicans, like Jack Kemp, who tried to get a bill passed that established “Enterprise Zones” where businesses that move their factories into the poverty areas get big tax breaks was a form of “trickle down” but the Southern Democrats, who are now MAGA, killed it in the Senate.

kingman6.bsky.social•88 days ago

never was "trickle down" economics, t'was always "tinkle down" economics...

roxanne-7.bsky.social•88 days ago

Not even. Dysfunctional economics.

melinda4u.bsky.social•88 days ago

It didn’t work in 1981 and it isn’t going to work now. Those who were not smart enough to pass history class are doomed.

briankc.bsky.social•88 days ago

It's called "trickle down" economics because the ultra-rich are pissing on our legs and telling us that it's raining.

iandmorrison.com•77 days ago

Probably a good choice skipping “Trickle D”.

fgump-777.bsky.social•88 days ago

wanderingrocket.bsky.social•87 days ago

There is no trickle down. The cup at the top doesn't overflow, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

gitrithm.bsky.social•88 days ago

Reagan ushered in the oligarchs.

coloradopeach.bsky.social•88 days ago

shoppers love size charts. just sayin.

despisesocialmedia.bsky.social•88 days ago

Yes! Trump’s “Trickle Down” economics has been proven time and time again to NOT WORK and leads to more wealth disparity with the ultra rich hoarding rather than letting it trickle down to the rest of the company and its workers! Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are prime examples.

nomasnomore.bsky.social•88 days ago

The MPS. Marginal propensity to save. The amount saved on the next dollar earned. This is evidence that the fat floats to the top.

alexb4u.bsky.social•88 days ago

As Robert Reich remembers, trickle down economics was a fiction created during the Reagan years to justify the huge give away to corps and the rich. It was never intended to benefit the economy or the general public. We need to keep calling out the lie.

philliphyper.bsky.social•88 days ago

You’ve thought by now people understood the only thing that trickles down is misery.

andrewd1.bsky.social•87 days ago

I still wake up everyday in disbelief how Donald Trump and his Conservative/Christian Nationalist Project2025 gangsters, managed to successfully gaslighted the whole United States population that the rigged 2024 election result was reality.

Hello? Is anyone awake over there?

Say it ain't so. I've been waiting since 1980, little bucket in hand, surely before I die I'll get a drop or two.

shawnhcorey.bsky.social•87 days ago

It's not short of a disaster. It is a disaster.

Tinkle down economics: the rich take our money and piss on the rest of us.

longhairmike.bsky.social•88 days ago

What are you talking about? Trickle down economics is working perfectly, just as it was designed.

weenubbinful.bsky.social•87 days ago

Ship internationally?

susan-schwaiger.bsky.social•88 days ago

The nominees’ jobs are not just to destroy the federal agency, but to secretly STEAL the billions of our tax dollars that fund the agency and transfer the money to Trump’s pocket. They and Elon probably get a cut. Defense, intelligence, DOJ, FBI - all of them. Trump is first and foremost a THIEF.

janetjoiner.bsky.social•88 days ago

Sorry can't trickle to get a t-shirt because nothing trickled down to me to pay for it. I'll give you a heart if that helps.

ghostofdonknotts.bsky.social•88 days ago

Am I the only one who is more than a little annoyed with the unions that supported the game show host? I'm not crazy about supporting people who voted against their own interest and now want me to help protect them from the consequences of their own votes. But, I'm open to having my mind changed.

roxanne-7.bsky.social•88 days ago

Don’t change your mind. Resist Trump. He is a self-serving psychopath who does not understand how our country functions. He wants to destroy not build.

ghostofdonknotts.bsky.social•88 days ago

I might change my mind on Unions, but never on the game show host. He's trash.

roxanne-7.bsky.social•88 days ago

Unions are great. I have been a union member for more than a decade. It has been good for me.

jcinmd.bsky.social•87 days ago

No mind change necessary.

g00dluvv.bsky.social•88 days ago

Exactly.

kateprotests.bsky.social•88 days ago

There’s going to be a whole lot of people and organizations begging to be saved by American tax dollars.

aftertheice.bsky.social•88 days ago

Working class folks voted against their financial interests but in favor of their cultural interests. Their cultural identity is more important to them than money.

ghostofdonknotts.bsky.social•88 days ago

Right? I mean, people are entitled to vote however theu want, but don't chop your nuts off to impress a game show host and expect me to pay for your IVF... Its an awful metaphor, but it's been a long week.

aftertheice.bsky.social•88 days ago

lol. Yes that's awful. But I do think that there's a lesson here for the Dems if they want to win in 2028. There is a lot of agreement between Progressives and MAGA members (not their leaders) on financial issues. We need to emphasize those issues and minimize, as best we can, the cultural stuff.

ghostofdonknotts.bsky.social•88 days ago

You're a better person than I am, I'm certainly not to the "work with MAGA" phase of my grief yet. I accept that it is likely the best path forward, but I'm furious with them.

randir2d2.bsky.social•86 days ago

I love it but would prefer a long sleeved tee shirt. Any hope for that?

Trickle Down is economic violence.

aarondanieldean.bsky.social•88 days ago

I LOVE THIS SHIRT!

craigbrittain.com•88 days ago

As long as indirect taxation is the norm, trickle-down is as well. We need Direct Tax Squads, and there should be tracking devices installed on all millionaires and politicians so we know where all of them are at all times, so we can show up to collect and redistribute the wealth ourselves.

seelesaid.bsky.social•88 days ago

Trickle down economics sounds like something the Sheriff of Notttingham tried to sell the villagers on in his quest to undermine Robin Hoods influence..
