Trickledown economics is a term liberal dementia created. Reagan never once uttered these words. Trickle up economics to a liberal is expanding the welfare state. Oregon liberals have thoroughly killed trickle up economics 101. First they outlawed affordable housing to increase property tax revenue through market manipulation, taking away the tool we need to support ourselves in independence and dignity. Next they raised the minimum wage killing entry level jobs that now require skills and experience to attain.
