I've figured out a way to solve the illegal immigration problem.
Just demand that the repukes take "trickle down" to the max. Totally eliminate all taxes on the rich. Can you imagine how much money will "trickle down" to us poor folks? If a few hundred billion in tax breaks for the rich can magically improve our finances, just imagine what would happen if the rich paid not one penny in taxes. We would all be rolling in dough and become rich ourselves.

Hey folks, this will solve the illegal immigration problem. After we become rich thanks to "trickle down", we will have our taxes eliminated and can "trickle down" on the illegals. They will then become rich, and the wealth will "trickle down" to Mexico. Before long, all of America will be drowning in cash. It will "trickle down" all the way to Antarctica. With global warming, the melting icebergs will then move away, and it will "trickle down" all over the world. Hell, "trickle down" might even be the ticket to finally solve global warming.

2. I think it's a great idea. Let's do Bush one better!
Bush keeps telling Americans he wants them to keep their money, that it does more good with them, so let's eliminate all income taxes except for those who make over $100,000, and we'll give them the entirely reasonable rate of a flat 20% on everything above $100,000, no deductions, no tax credits, etc.

Then the US can simply borrow the money we need to run government.

That should really get the economy moving.

4. I think the Open Borders Brigade should hand over the jobs and homes
to the oppressed indigenous third-world peoples. That would be a good start.

6. Yes! All the misguided open border nuts should give up their home
and their income to the poor immigrants. It would be the ultimate "trickle down".

8. The only "trickle down" that ever occurs is when you don't
make it to the toilet on time.

9. Or when the toilet leaks on the neighbor living on the floor below you
Been a lot of "trickling down" since Reagan took office in 1981.
