"Trickle Down Economics" is a talking point of those who oppose whatever it is that they want to attack at a given moment.
It can, and has at times, meant:
- Corporate bailouts and "welfare"
- Tax cuts
- Deregulation
- Lobbying / big money donations
Sometimes it means some of the above, other times it means all of the above. But the point is that no one on the fiscal conservative side of the aisle has ever come out and used the term "trickle down economics." Their opposition uses that word because it is loaded and it speaks to their base.
> Those spending never reaches the "lower classes"
What spending are you talking about? The OP was talking about removing barriers to creating business and attributed these barriers to good intentions. We can probably safely assume that the OP is a fiscal-conservative who favours deregulation and a business-friendly environment. And for what it's worth I am not trying to take one side over the other, you just lost me at "spending." The OP is talking about the exact opposite of spending. They are taking a "private solutions over public solutions" position. One where you spend less by having less overhead and red tape standing in the way of those who want to produce goods & services thus creating abundance of supply which lowers prices in addition to more jobs which puts more money in peoples' pockets.
