    Yes, I agree that’s how trickle down economics works in real life but I looked at this meme and was like ‘it don’t make sense’.

    If the caption was something like ‘how aspirational capitalists think trickle down economics works’ and showed a picture of the imagined way trickle down economics works and the second image was the one in this meme with the caption ‘how trickle down economics actually works’ it would make more sense.

      Even aspirational capitalists don’t think trickle down economics works the way you’re describing. It’s always supposed to be a grift. This has always been the goal. It’s not that this is how it works in reality, it’s that this is how it was always supposed to work.
