Money doesn't trickle down. It rises, like hot air. The more money you have, the more you can make by investing it. The less you have, the quicker the crappy stuff you can buy breaks down. And generally, the less healthy of a lifestyle you can lead, resulting in more health care costs etc. It's crazy that we let that metaphor take hold.

@wjmaggos Had an older relative describe trickle down to me, when Reagan was first elected, as, "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining!"
