Trickle down was originally called the Horse and Sparrow theory, because the idea was that if you feed the horse more oats, they'll be more grain for the sparrows to pick out of its shit.

Almost as bad as the worst interpretation of "trickle down economics" I can think of.

Though it's interesting to note that the whole concept does not get better however you try to describe it.

I believe the horse and sparrow theory is what the Roman's did. Clearly that empire is strong today right?
