When slamming “trickle down” economics, Dick Gephardt used to say that “The American People are sick and tired of being trickled on.”
A crude scatological line, but it pretty much sums-up where a whole lot of middle-class voters are today. Traditional Club for Growth economics is politically a no-sale to them.
