    This is the correct version.

    Tax cuts to the wealthy do not result in increased consumption of goods and services that would actually drive jobs and wages. It fuels "investment", typically in the stock market, where the pool of money increases without necessarily shifting the underlying value in the market.

    This is accurate, because the guy ("wealth") will pick up that taco ("trickled down profits") and eat it too when he's done

    Except in reality nothing gets trickled down. Here there are at least scraps.

    No, because trickle down economics doesn't even leave scraps for the rest of us, it leaves nothing, less than nothing in fact.

  • I prefer the original version, sparrows and the oats,

    Feed the horse enough oats and it'll trickle down to sparrows picking oat bits from his shit

    Lol, this is hilarious. Thanks for sharing. So would this be akin to a Taco circle jerk? 🤣

    It's sloppy seconds if it's anything sexual, though as another user pointed out the same guy eats that taco too so it's actually like going down on someone you just creampied and I'm not sure what the slang is for that.

    Ahh good clarification lol I looked for what that particular act would be called in your analogy and didn’t find a specific name for that, but i did come across a slang phrase that likely covers it, Drinking at the fuzzy cup, so yah 😂
