Will Rogers Wisdom: Trickle Up Economics
"The money was all
appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the
bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will
at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands.”
-Will Rogers in the
St. Petersburg Times - Nov 26, 1932
