Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

I don't know entirely why, but I get really annoyed when people talk about "trickle down economics" like it was Reagan's platform and not a smear term. Reagan/Republicans never claimed to support something by that name.
The other thing that annoys me is that "trickle down economics" actually works, at least in the sense that policies supporting free market behavior tends to make the rich a lot richer but everyone somewhat richer, too. !neolibs

Yes which is why ancient kingdoms were the most prosperous time to be poor people.
People are an in group species. If you went free market all the way what would happen is rich people would get rich enough that they would stop seeing half the population as people. The ones considered people will 100% get richer over time but every human alive will not be on that list.

Ancient kingdoms were anything but free market, kings and other nobles invented gorillion ways to tax or regulate their ways to wealth.

This time if we try free market/ communism/ libertarianism it will work out into a perfect society bro. All the other times it wasn't the ideology bro it was the people in charge bro but we will be different bro.

It's older than Reagan. Will Rogers used it as a puncline. You might as well claim that MLK was in favour of whatever stupid shit his enemies said he was.
