I always liked John Kenneth Galbraith take on the trickle down theory. He wroteGod Save the Queen wrote:
Trickle down economics does not work.
"the horse-and-sparrow theory" where "If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."
In other words its all Hor$e$hit.
I also like Obama's analysis of the "trickle up theory," where today those at the top have taken so much out of the economy and ruined the economy that the pain has trickled up. That is what we are beginning to see.
And as for the $24 million to these executives, you have got to be kidding me
these guys don't even deserve court appointed attorneys
