TRICKLE UP DEFIES GRAVITY
Income distribution
{1} 1,365,856earn more than $388,000 a year
{2} 68,292,856earn less than $70,000 a year

TRICKLE DOWN
If the IRS gave tax bracket {1} a $1,000 tax break they in turn could add $13,665,856,000to the economy but the rich will not add it to the economy, they will put it inthe bank to do nothing

TRICKLE UP
If the IRS gave tax bracket {2} a $1,000 tax break they in turn could add $68,292,856,000to the economy because they will spend it, buying new things from houses to
shoes to a new car which adds to the economy making more shoes, the car to anew house.

Now ask yourself; which is best for our economy

"gravity" is directly proportional to mass. so if you want to metaphorically apply this physical law to economics, naturally, wealth is mass.

therefore it's trickle-down that defies gravity -- all the 'mass' is at the top, in the 1% or w/e. it's upside-down.

there's an enormous amount of actual observational evidence that 'trickle-down' does nothing but escalate the growth of income inequality. so much that this isn't even a remotely debatable point.

Precisely. Whatever anybody else does, whatever poor people do, whatever rich people do, whatever the government decides to do, it doesn't change what we should do.

And speaking of change, kvetching about what poor, rich or the government should or should not do... won't change anything either. All it will do is elevate blood pressure. All those groups are going to keep doing what they are doing. ;)
