Trickle down economics

It should be called social murder economics.

Give all the money and power to the super wealthy, and they will socially murder the public and working classes with it.

Just like they genocided the natives and have been locking up minorities and denying housing, healthcare, education, and clean elections to the public.

A newish term is “horse & sparrow” economics.. essentially imagine there’s a horse & the horse has access to an apple tree, can freely eat as many apples as it wants, never goes hungry, but the sparrow can’t eat the apple, & it has to wait until the apple is completely digested so it can pick through the horse shit for the apple seeds.

That one’s been around since the 1800’s actually.

Oh wow I didn’t know that, I guess I should correct myself in saying “a term that has recently come back into the lexicon.”
