Ever hear about the Horse and Sparrow theory?

Basically, it's the idea that if you feed enough oats to a horse, eventually some of it will pass through for the sparrows to eat.

Sound familiar?

Yeah, this is what "Trickle down" used to be called.

So, basically, when Republicans are trying to sell 'Trickle down' as good for the middle class, they are actually telling the middle class to eat shit.
