The reason the top has so much is because the government has gave them trillions. You then condemn those who aren't happy with the crumbs that fall off the table.
And that may indeed be the case... however, that does not negate the principle of trickle down economics.
And please stop with the condemnation comments. You mentioned the crumbs, I didn't.
So it seems like your are unhappy with how the top get their money. Is that correct?
It's OK. A lot of people disagree with gravity too.
'Trickle-down' is a con job.
You keep as much as you can ...
the next level keeps as much as it can ...
the next level ...
Nothing for ordinary Americans.
The idea was vigorously promoted by Ronald Reagan to get tax cuts for the rich. It did not help the public in general.
It was called "Supply Side Economics", a sort of "build it and they will come" idea.
George H W Bush called it "Voodoo Economics" and on that score he was correct. It had all the effect of blowing on a pair of dice before tossing them, or tossing bones to foretell the future. Supply side economics is an old scam.
Trickle down in the general capitalist system or government taxation schemes?
I never got a job from a homeless guy. People with assets and a vision create something they want to grow and they hope to get a nice financial reward for doing so. The government's job is to mostly stay out of the way.
People who have saved assets start companies and hire, not people on welfare or government employees who know NOTHING about what it takes to make a business go.
Leftists who are jealous of success rarely understand the sacrifice of 16 hour work days that most business owners go through.

Are Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Walmart .. con jobs?
Please note that Steve Jobs didn't create Apple - he couldn't. He's a broke, jobless bum nearly living on the street. It's the investors who was "conned" into believing Jobs' idea.
Yeah, it is a con job. Many Trump voters will find out soon enough that they voted against their best interests. It'll be sad when that realization happens.

I'm not a fan of theories. Less so when those theories aren't even carried out as theorized.

That would be a vast generalization. I do not care that Bill Gates makes a bunch of money by making things lots of people want. Good for him.
I despise that a Wall Street banker can break the law, fail and then go crying to the government to force the taxpayers to bail him out and then complains when it's suggested that maybe the taxpayer should get at least some of that back.
Trickle Down Economics never works. Well it used to back in the day. Thanks to Ronald Reagan, when he lowered taxes to the wealthy. The wealthy did not trickle their income to the masses. Instead they kept money for themselves or invested in stocks or offshore accounts. This type of economic system continued well into the Bush, Clinton, Bush and even Obama years. Trump wants to lower corporate taxes, but he needs to persuade the wealthy to put money back into their business therefore helping employees and create jobs.

Right, because as we have seen through the behavior of violent Democrats, they think they know all and only what they believe should be approved of as fit for public consumption.
Democrats today are in the news acting out being government dependent violent thugs that refuse expression of all free speech they do not approve of.
They are seemingly anti-America first and pro-abortion and many like to mock those who believe in God. Why give them power again ever after doubling the national debt in the failed Obama years?
Trickle down economics is a disaster for those in the middle and at the bottom. Many of whom voted for our great leader.
The money doesn't trickle down because the people at the top keep it. It is a complete con job.
How can the people on top keep it while 90% of the rich people lose their wealth after 3 generations?
