TRICKLE UP! - A relevant quote from Will Rogers [View all]



"The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow's hands."

WILL ROGERS, 1932

TRICKLE UP!

That's the ticket.

Give money to the average American and the rich will also benefit.
Give money to the rich and the average American is left out in the cold.
