There's no such thing as 'trickle down'. Cite me one serious economic paper which has referenced it. It's one of those things that through shear force of repetition people believe that it is a real theorem.

Plenty of politicians pushed trickle down.

Politicians with their own self interests. It's not an actual serious economic theory.

I never said it was. But it was pushed as an economic theory by politicians. It failed. I'm not sure what your point is, but I am sure that you're missing mine.

I was assuming you were the parent commenter, who has since deleted their comment.

I was. That comment just said "the failure of trickle down doesn't persuade you [...]"

Trickle down was pushed by many politicians, and it failed. whether it's a real theory or not is totally irrelevant to the point.
