Trickle down/ Flow up economics have been redistributing wealth upwards for the last 34 years now. Look at Malls, Sporting venues, Luxury automobiles, boats, watches, audio, etc., etc. Fewer people have a LOT more money these days, that money had to come from somewhere. The money came from the middle class and moved up to the 0.01%.
