Trickle-down is another way to see the main political differences that divide people. The idea that if hard-working and/or rich people are taxed less, they will then create more jobs and wealth for everybody (the wealth will 'trickle down' to everybody else). Unfortunately everywhere it's been tried it's been a complete failure. It always, every single time, leads to the same thing - all of the wealth gets funnelled up the ladder to the top end. Often that top end don't work harder either, they just have historical advantages, or were lucky, and don't invest the money in productive ways anyway.
