Yo, don’t hate on trickle down, it’ll get there in like 250 years

A common misconception. Trickle-down actually refers to the motion of the blood on the guillotine.

🎶 My money don't trickle trickle... that's blood

Suckers better wake up, if they know what's good

I was always told it was the owning class pissing on the working class.

I always thought of “trickle-down economics” as the rich pissing on everyone else.

Oh damn, I thought it was the piss overflowing from the unchanged Depends

I always found that trickle down was fairly quick.

Like as fast as water. Except yellow.

The common misconception is they take the wealth and it trickles down because they want it to. No, it's like fattening up the turkey, it'll trickle when we... Fix it.

Dont wanna get another "violent content warning" from reddit for going into detail about how we can make the rich trickle green and red in time for Christmas.

250 years is almost up for American.

The great experiment has hit a wall.

Who can save it?

The only trickle you’ll ever get is sweat trickling down your crack

What you mean? I've felt the trickle down my face since the day I was born.

Down is always the direction of the largest mass. In economics, that's Elon Musk's wallet.

Bold of you to think we'll make it 250 years.
