    But that has been the theory being toted by a certain percentage of people for the past 40 years. The whole trickle down economics. That is hard thing to get out of your head since it has been there for so long.

      You are of course right, which is what irks me. It is just that the idea is wrong doubly so. First it assumes we need to continue the current economic paradigm. Further, even following this assumption, trickle up economics would actually have a positive impact on the economy as is.
