what we call trickle-down was once known as horse and sparrow economics and caused a massive panic in the 1890s.
Why horse and sparrow? Because if you feed enough oats to the horse, some pass through the horse and make it to the sparrow. I think that presents a much more accurate impression of how the offensively-wealthy view the working-class...they get to gorge on all the wealth and we get to eat what they drop and/or shit.
