It's funny because another name for the concept is the "horse and sparrow theory". The idea is that if you feed the horse enough oats.... nah.. it's funnier if I let you ask google for an explanation.

The pundits and politicians stopped talking about trickle down theory altogether at this point, as certain elements of the right sought to eliminate the appearance of a wealth disparity altogether in a David Copperfield-esque performance.
So there are no "rich" or "poor" people anymore, just "job creators" and "soon to be rich". Punishing "Job Creators" with regulation and taxes will simply make it that much harder for you when you become one of'em.
