Funny, I seem to remember a certain president running on trickle down economics that coincided with the decline of worker compensation compared to executive and the shrinking of the middle class, but maybe I have history completely backwards

Edit:also look at the economic system practiced in the United States that led up to the introduction of trickle down economics. That happened in the 80’s and there’s 4/5ths of the 20th century that happened prior to that
