    Cut the billionaire and corporate taxes, this is what happens! Rich get richer and inflation swallows everybody else!

    You can thank Trump and the republicans for this!

      No! Those trickle-down economics they told us about will be kicking in any time now! I’m certain!

        Wealth flows up. Yeah sure, it trickles down too. But what happens when you build a pump that makes water from a basin flow up into a tank, and only let it trickle back down? The tank gets fuller and the basin loses its water.
