The republicans drag this meme out every election cycle to boost their campaign funds from donors who would directly benefit from the tax cuts from the wealthy.

As for those working-class voters? They buy into meme that the poors are living off their hard-earned tax dollars so the working-class are fine that the poors are suffering and doing with less. The working-class are too busy hating the poors to notice that they never benefit from "Trickle-Down"...
