The term “trickle-down” is PART of this “battle”. It’s a derogatory term for supply-side policies, invented by a humorist to poke fun at the idea.

I think it's hopeless. The HN crowd is relatively educated, but they just gormlessly use a slur in reference to a thing. Should I have confidence that they understand the thing itself, if they can't avoid attacking it with every mention?

What's curious is--when these policies came about under Reagan, the economy basically exploded upwards for 40 years. What the hell do you want? LBJ's Great Society back again? That's where we're headed right now. Inflation and destitution!
