I disagree with trickle down economics doubling as wealth redistribution; it merely masks the truth.

Trickle down economics just redirects the public's attention, making us all think that we reap benefits of some kind. The truth, however, is that the rich continue to grow richer, and the poor get what's left over. The middle class really see no benefits at all and have no hopes of joining the upper classes.

Trickle down economics is ineffective, as some at the top are hoarding wealth over generations, and the greater sum is still always at the top.

The money and resources may trickle down to the middle class, but it will take a long while to do so. A lot of it is hoarded at the top and never reaches the average worker.

Trickle Down economics is not wealth redistribution, because it doesn't work.

The theory of Trickle Down economics would be fine if it worked, but it presently doesn't, and therefore only the wealthy benefit. If it could be more effectively implemented and monitored it would be worth while, but presently it is not a viable solution for stimulating the job market and the economy.
