#15 expresses well the reason I criticize people for adopting this nonsense imagery.

"Trickle-down" is an epithet concocted to discourage effective policies that remove roadblocks and incentivize investment.

To me, trickle down is a two word explanation for how a capitalistic economy works, so for me the above quote is backwards as a definition. If you changed "discourage" to "encourage" it would be correct.

Trickle down is the reason to remove excess tax and regulatory burdens and let people do with their money as they will.
