I feel like you don't understand how much a billion dollars is. Look the mice don't get fed by giving all of their cheese to the owner of the house in order to feed on the crumbs. This is just the dumbest shit I've ever seen, and it's time to admit that trickle down does not work, will not work, and has never worked.
FTFY.
Indeed you have
Thank you for the horrible image you painted in my mind with mice giving their cheese to the owner of the house
Suit yourself, more for me 😋
Well, we just haven't done it hard enough! That's why we have to eliminate all of the "entitlement" programs that are starving those poor billionaires. Then the wealth will really flow!
That is not taking it far enough for the scheme to work. You need a proper theocracy with billionaires made into a pantheon of gods wielding absolute power. Then they will solve the worlds problems.
But the common people who did not inherit their wealth are too self destructive for their own good and for it to happen.
Billionaires love us, they want to love us, and here we are, us pitiful dregs, not letting them, out of a sense of entitlement.
RIP
It was a sad day in the Stern house when I found out trickle down was once called horse and sparrow ("If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."), but got hit with the ol' bowdlerization beam to be more palettable to the masses.
