How Trickle Down Economics Work

People, please listen. I'm talkin 'bout the income gap. The top one percent of Americans get one third of the nation's income, over double what they got in 1980. One-third. The income for the top 0.01% is 196 times the bottom 90%. Your wages have stagnated and the super-duper rich have gotten super-duper richer! How can you possibly swallow your coffee? Because you're making me do math before noon!

You would have to work decades to make what many CEO's do in an hour.

Minimum wage.

"Can you even imagine where women would be without the trade union movement...."

'The purpose of government is to protect me from him.'

Excellent academic and personal qualifications...but I'm afraid your womb lets you down!

Campus. Professor Frump is the most respected faculty member here. All the other professors want to be noticed by him. This semester he's teaching three classes. But for some unknown reason lots of students are dropping the second one. He asked why this is happening. Hoping to impress him, sociology and economics scholars rushed to present him with their theories. I guess he should have been more specific when he questioned with the middle class is disappearing.

'Do you have the feeling that we're being surrounded?'

"Here's the thing. . . if we give poor people too much, rich people will long longer run the country."
