Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 09, 2018

Whether rescues at sea or economic rescue for those struggling at the bottom, that old “trickle down” scam has never worked.

Didn’t work under Hoover.

Didn’t work under Reagan.

Didn’t work under Bush.

Or maybe it has worked perfectly for its true purpose, just the way they designed it — to REDISTRIBUTE the wealth produced by middle class working people to the few richest elites who already have the most while pretending it is supposed to help working people and the middle class.

It does NOT work the way scam artists try to sell it to gullible suckers.

It works perfectly for billionaire CON men.

Is that the DeVos yacht

To be fair, there used to be three people on that island… the third was the ship captain’s kid.

I’m surprised that they left the palm trees.

How rude!

It looks like their stocks split.

Another place divided by economic realities.

Trickle down always sounded to me like we’re being pissed on!

We always referred to it as “Trickle on.”

“There are those who believe that if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them.” – William Jennings Bryan, 1896

You have to be some dupe to believe that if you give more money to the greedy, they’ll share it with you.

It seemed to have worked for me. Went from about $17 per hour to $27 per hour for the same job. Of course the socialists among us want everyone to have the same income and the government (that’s us tax payers) will pay for it all: free college, free health care, free everything, food stamps, nothing is free! Trickle down is just crumbs, right Nancy P.?

Nothing profound here. Just a stupid cartoon. Watch people go nuts explaing it.

You can always tell a liberal. But not much.

I’d rather have a 1,000 customers spend $100 than 1 customer spend $1,000.

Once again, man find himself marooned in dire straits, as the Ship of Fate sails without him.

How many people in Pre-Revolutionary France would have kept their heads had they allowed just a little more of their wealth to “trickle-down”?

If Madigan has the Illinoids thinking the feds, meaning the other 49 states, will bail them out, he and they won’t even be able to afford a bankruptcy lawyer.

but it seems to only get to the Democratic ruling class.

I have yet to read of any of the uber rich liberals, the so-called masters of the universe reducing their personal income so they can pay more to their employees.

I’m certain that someone will be by soon if only to clear up the navigation hazard.

I love to work for rich people because poor people don’t hire anybody!

A rising tide lifts all ships. Except the ones that are already sunk.

Ununderstandable punchline.
