(New Zealand, Labour MP Damien O’Connor in 2011 called trickle-down economics “the rich pissing on the poor”.)
Ross Perot, where did you go?
trickle down economy
pissing away the poor
pissing off the middle class
less and less
our paychecks pay the bills
ironic how
when I was still in diapers
the rich got taxed lots more
Prosperity was King!
Protect the rich
whose money hides in havens.
Make a war -
no money to sustain it
Let wealth TRICK-
TRICKle -
down to
you
and
me
