Trickle-down doesn't work. Trickle-up does.

You want rich people to have more money? Distribute funds to people, and let business compete for those new customers.

I'm good with either Trickle-up or Middle-out. Anything is better than Trickle-down and that people still believe that con is ridiculous. If anyone advertises Trickle-up, it should instantly be a sign to not trust that person.
