Trickle down economics bumper sticker?
Anybody know of one? Another thread inspired that idea.

I live in a republican area that still believes in that crap, although more and more people are beginning to feel the crunch.

I'd love to make a bumper sticker, but everything I think of is rather long:

Trickle down beneficiaries: China and India!

Trickle down economics - works for China and India.

Any better ideas?

2. Why attack India and China vs the rich American Corporatists?
Who made it possible?

19. Not attacking them.
It's just a fact that the corporatists have no loyalty, and China and India are the major countries where the "trickling" is occurring. It could be anywhere.

10. John Kenneth Galbraith referred to trickle down economics as "horse and sparrow" economics.
Edited on Mon Jul-28-08 02:20 PM by Jim__
As in: if one feeds the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.

You can guess who the sparrows are.

14. I've been using "How much has ..
trickled down to you?" Really pisses off repugs I talk to. Here's another that makes their heads explode: "Gee, repugs sure love killing people."
