The media is the originator of the "trickle down nonsense." Tax cuts that generate economic growth started with JFK in the modern era.
Without concentrations of wealth there would be no funding to produce the idiot’s screenplays.
There was a time when the spigot was free to gush forth, but, once the hand of government grabbed hold of the handle, the economic flow was reduced to a stream...then a trickle...and now a drip.
If the libs/socialists desire to understand the historic rise to power of this country (economically and otherwise), they would realize that it happened sans the liberal/socialist agenda. They are the ones responsible for the strangulation of the American economy (including the continued use of such things as social security).
Get the libs/socialists out of the way, watch a country grow and blossom. Put libs in charge of “watering the garden” and you have...well, not enough water to make anything grow (trickle...trickle...trickle)
