"Trickle-down economics" and "trickle-down theory," is a term used in political rhetoric to classify economic policies perceived to primarily benefit the wealthy and then "trickle-down" to the middle and lower classes. The theory states that the policies will create incentives for top earners to invest more into business infrastructure which will in turn lead to more goods at lower prices, while at the same time creating jobs for middle and lower class individuals. This sentiment is captured in John F. Kennedy's argument, "a rising tide floats all boats". Proponents argue economic growth flows down from the top to the bottom, indirectly benefiting those who do not directly benefit from the policy changes. However, others have argued that "trickle-down" policies do not work.[1] Proponents of the policies generally do not use the terms "trickle-down economics" themselves.[2]
The term "trickle-down" comes from an analogy with a phenomenon in marketing, the trickle-down effect.
