	Trickle-down theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trickle-down theory, also known as trickle down economics, was a term used by detractors and advocates alike for some of the policies of Ronald Reagan.
		Trickle Down Economics was coined from a speech made by David Stockman, who was Ronald Reagan's chief economic advisor.
		Trickle down was used to justify a range of changes under both British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan, specifically those which attempted to break the power of unions, reduce impediments to hiring and firing, reducing environmental regulation, and pursue a less anti-corporate stance to legislation and economic policy overall.

	Trickle down effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Trickle-down theory is promulgated by right-leaning newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal editorial page and libertarian and conservative think-tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Cato Institute.
		This theory does not say that benefits given to the upper classes will "trickle down" to those below them on the social hierarchy due to the benevolence or generosity of the rich; rather, its proponents maintain this will occur mostly as a result of the normal workings of unfettered markets.
		To advocates of trickle down effect, it is a central tenet that government policies which benefit upper-income taxpayers and corporations (through tax cuts, subsidies, deregulation, etc.), will indirectly benefit the middle classes and even the poor.

	Uneconomic growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Uneconomic growth, in welfare economics, human development theory and some forms of ecological economics, is economic growth which reflects or creates a decline in human well-being.
		For instance, in Daly's 1999 Feasta Lecture, "Uneconomic Growth in Theory and in Fact", he cites John Ruskin, then William Nordhaus and James Tobin as having identified the issue.
		For example, if one assumes that Atlantic hurricanes and Pacific typhoons have intensified in recent years due to human-caused global warming, then a rapid surge in automobile ownership in China, Brazil, and India could be seen as uneconomic growth.

		The Grand Old Party of the Republicans has been loudly touting the ‘Trickle Down Theory’ for years now, and even though the GOP continues to argue that the theory does in fact bring wealth downward from the top, the people who are in the middle or at the bottom of the pyramid rarely agree.
		And perhaps it is, but the 'trickle down' is not trickling in the manner they publicized; that is, the GOP’s claim is that by giving tax breaks to those at the top, our nation will assure that the wealthy and the corporate managers will reinvest in a manner that creates jobs and expands the economy.
		Yet instead of that scenario, what seems to be occurring is a variation on the theme; i.e., give power to conservative people at the top, and their reactionary techniques trickle down to the state and local – city and town – level in a repressive fashion.

	Trickle-Down Ignorance by Thomas Sowell -- Capitalism Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		What is often confused with a trickle-down theory is supply-side economics, such as that advocated by Arthur Laffer.
		That theory is that tax cuts can generate more tax revenue for the government because it changes people's behavior, causing more economic activity to take place, leading to more taxable income, as well as a faster growing economy.
		Whether it will happen in a given set of circumstances is what is controversial, but none of this has anything to do with money trickling down from the rich to the poor.

		It went as low as 28% in 1988 and 1989 due to legislation passed under Reagan, the trickle-down theory’s most famous adherent.
		The Clinton years saw the top bracket hold steady at a higher rate of 39.6%, but under the younger Bush’s tax-cut policies, the rich are once again paying less.
		Thus, it seems that hourly wages grew more when taxes were higher – indeed, the correlation coefficient is 0.34, indicating a mild positive relationship between higher taxes for the rich and higher hourly wages.

		Even if the theory does turn out to restore some of the jobs that washed away in the flood, they will still be the same jobs that meant poverty for a quarter of the residents of New Orleans and 40 percent of its children.
		If we ensure that jobs earn a living wage and basic health security, working families nationwide might be able to afford the fundamentals of a decent life that the rest of us take for granted.

		In his March 29 nationally syndicated column, Thomas Sowell claimed that "no one has ever advocated" the "trickle down theory" -- a conservative economic theory that forms the basis of "supply-side" economics, which prescribes investments and tax breaks for businesses in order to stimulate the economy.
		A classic example is the "trickle down theory," which no one has ever advocated, but which the left insists on fighting against.

	Trickle Down Economics For Dummies
		This theory says that if you give big tax cuts to the wealthiest people in our society some of that additional wealth will trickle down to everyone else.
		But, what happens in reality is that these wealthy individuals don't spend that money, they don't give it way, they don't invest it with small investors, but they do use that money to buy more stocks, bonds, and real estate, and not necessarily in America.
		The trickle down theory is a lot like the Republicans "Laufer Curve" that was developed under President Reagan.

		No such theory can be found in even the most voluminous and learned books on the history of economics.

		A critic of India's change from a government-dominated economy to more free market activity in the 1990s accused those behind this change of having "blind faith in the 'trickle-down' theory of distributing the benefits of economic growth among different socio-economic groups in the country." But free-market economics is not about "distributing" anything to anybody.

		I've suggested in the past that headline inflation in the current month could trickle down into future months as producers begin to pass on higher prices.

		It's plausible theory, but only testing the data will show the true relationship between current headline inflation and future core inflation data.

		It is exactly this idea that promoters of Intelligent Design speak to when they ask, 'did you ever see a building that didn't have a maker, did you ever see a painting that didn't have a painter.' That perfectly captures this deeply intuitive idea that you never get design for free.
