I want my TRICKLE !
The TeaPublicans believe to their core and preach like religion that all that ever needs to happen are massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires and massive regulation cuts for them, and these great AWESOME gurus of capitalism will then grow and start new businesses, hire everyone with great bennies and pay, and offer great dividends to investers, so hence the benefits of all this will TRICKLE DOWN to the rest of us.

Well, they've had their massive tax breaks for eight years (and in fact it was heading that way for decades before with more and more cuts over the years), and what we got was our financial system transformed into a gambling casino and the Great Recession.

So please right wingers, tell me, WHERE IS THE TRICKLE? I WANT MY TRICKLE !!

1. Oh, you're getting it, all right.
We are all being urinated upon from a great height. That's what they mean by "trickle-down."

2. You're in Maine.
Trickling up is more difficult. Be patient.

4. Not much of a trickle.

In
fact it's so slow it's only beginning to trickle down to Nixon:


At least we can dance on the grave of The Great Communicator:


Sorry for the irreverence, but I absolutely loathe those men.
