“And what about the great granddaddy of zombie lies, trickle-down economics,” Bill Maher asked. “Can’t we throw that one under the bus too? Its never worked and it never will work for good reason. Because it is like having three dogs and giving a wiener to one of them and thinking, ‘He will share it with the others.’”

2. Excellent, simple common-sense metaphor

I am going to the home of one of my right-wing conservative friends tomorrow to "fix" his computer. Seems he picked up some malware while visiting the Drudge Report. Who'd a thunk it? When he starts his Reagan worshiping BS I will have this in my arsenal.

3. They won't stop. They just shift to worrying about the deficit.

Even though GOP won't say the word "deficit" when Republicans run things.

4. Then you tell them trickle down just adds to the deficit

because of hundreds of billions of dollars a year in lost revenue from tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires who don't even need a fucking tax break. Why in hell does Bill Gates need a tax break when he was already bringing home over 4 million dollars a day before the tax breaks Bush gave out?
