Trickling Down Theories

Those of us living in the USA too often hear Republican capitalist dogma of The Great Trickle Down Theory, in which those who have most must get more first so they can hire more who have least, although perhaps not with living wage and preferably without health care if at all feasible, to spread this centralizing wealth around so we can become better day and night consumers of all the thneeds and trinkets offered in exchange for our enslaving rented lives. And so it was with raised eyebrows I heard Donald Trump explain to us unwashed and un-self-insuring masses, that he paid so very little income taxes because it is his sacred duty to himself his family and his stockholders and incorporated co-investors to pay as little tax and operating fees as legally possible so there is more to hoard, and less and less to trickle out. So, I guess this carries some tension with Trickle Down, becoming, more accurately, The Not-So-Great Trickling Out Theory of richest capitalist hoarding. But, just in case you are listening, Donald, which I know you are not, but maybe some more responsible Republican employer, I am quite sure that Wharton never spoke this lie that you have any legal, much less moral, obligation to retain as much wealth as possible to re-invest in further corporate greed to act as little trickling out as possible while speaking in loud nationalistic patriotic Trickle Down and Out! to all us little people, sometime, preferably after this year's self-congratulatory pay out, made possible by all us humble caregivers opening your doors for tips and cleaning your several stressed toilets, where only yellow and brown too slowly trickle down.
