There is a mythical process called trickle-down economics, which is actually a derogatory term for letting the job producers flourish. Real economic growth can only come from private enterprise capitalism, so the less taxation and regulation, the greater the economic growth.
Statists, though, see all private enterprise profits that don't become tax revenue as money that is supposedly theirs that they haven't obtained yet. They see it as an expense, money "provided" to businesses and individuals that "trickles down" and is spent in the economy.
Thus we see that trickle down economics, rather than being a derogatory reference to a certain type of capitalist economic theory, is actually a Marxist or socialist put-down of capitalism in general. Anyone who believes that free enterprise capitalism is the engine to modern economic growth should not even have the phrase "trickle down" in their vocabulary of capitalist terminology.
There is a real "trickle-down," however. It is called government. And no, I don't believe, as the anti-conservative propagandists portray us, that I think we don't need government. Government has many legitimate functions. And for a government to function it needs revenue.
So government, by its nature, involves an actual trickle down process, because any money being collected by the government eventually trickles down into the economy. But by its nature, it can't bring growth to the economy. Its temporary extraction from the economy actually makes it a hindrance to economic growth.
That government revenue, usually in the form of taxes, slowly and inefficiently goes through the system, paying for the development of infrastructure, giving income to those who can't provide for themselves and paying for the government bureaucracies and their employees.
Government-mandated social change
Effecting social change through government mandates is another method of "trickle down" that the Obama administration uses. The normal process of social change takes place by concepts and beliefs working their way through society. Those concepts and beliefs are then either accepted or determined to be unacceptable, as public debate and discussion on it looks at all sides of the issue and its significance to all parties affected by it.
But government imposition of social change is an authoritarian method of bypassing the Constitutional law-making process that trickles down to those willing to accept it while everyone else still opposes it but has to live with in. There is no persuasion involved and those who disagree with the change are then made objects of ridicule and derision by the statist propagandists.
Whether or not you believe in same-sex marriage, it became the law of the land based on the personal opinions of five people. Suddenly it became discrimination to have religious reasons for opposing it.
Those beliefs were suddenly invalidated and any action taken based on those beliefs was now criminal behavior, not because a law was passed through the Constitutional process of legislation, but because a judge or a few judges determined that long-held religious beliefs were meaningless and amounted to discrimination.
And never mind legislation to protect the innocent from the reverse discrimination that followed the imposition of the new directive. That is prohibited by the “Constitution” (read: judges personal opinion) as well.
Then the propagandists get to work portraying anyone opposing the newly imposed social order as wild-eyed hateful bigots, wanting to legislate an inquisition rather than what they are doing, proposing laws to protect people from being adversely affected by the hastily-imposed social change.
We see an example of this in the Obamacare legislation, where religious groups that believe life begins at conception are forced to be party to government-mandated services that violate their moral concepts.
And now, in our brave new world of fundamental transformation, the court system isn't even necessary for enforcing social change. Once it becomes established leftist propaganda, all Democrats and other Leftists dogmatically accept it as normal procedure and fall in line. The Democrat Party has become the Government Party and all society must fall in line with their directives. If you're not officially brainwashed to fall in line, and you disagree, that makes you are a bigoted lawbreaker.
Democrat policy, particularly on social issues, has become the moral law of the land, and their obedient major media outlets act as the government’s purveyor of these new executive branch directives. Then Attorney General Loretta Lynch puts the Department of Justice to work creating these new unconstitutional laws in the form of legal actions against those they consider to be offenders of the law.
A perfect example of how the Democrats and the Obama administration bypass the legislative process and unconstitutionally create new laws is demonstrated in their approach to House Bill #2 in North Carolina:
“An act to provide for single-sex multiple occupancy bathroom and changing facilities in schools and public agencies and to create statewide consistency in regulation of employment and public accommodations.”
The bill sets a state statewide standard for public schools and public agencies:
“Single-Sex Multiple Occupancy Bathroom and Changing Facilities. – Local boards of education shall require every multiple occupancy bathroom or changing facility that is designated for student use to be designated for and used only by students based on their biological sex.
“Accommodations Permitted. – Nothing in this section shall prohibit local boards of education from providing accommodations such as single occupancy bathroom or changing facilities or controlled use of faculty facilities upon a request due to special circumstances...”
Similar wording is then used replacing “local boards of education” with “public agencies.”
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory was on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace May 8, 2016, and described the issue this way:
“This is no longer just a North Carolina issue. This order by the Justice Department is saying that every company in the United States of America that has over 15 employees, are (sic) going to have to comply by the federal government’s regulation on bathrooms.
“So now the federal government is going to tell almost every private sector company in the United States who can and who cannot come into their bathrooms, their restrooms, their shower facilities for their employees. And they’re also telling every university in the United States of America.
“This is not just North Carolina. They are now telling every university that accepts federal funding that boys who may think they’re a girl can go into a girl’s locker room or restroom or shower facility. And that begins, I assume, tomorrow.”

Obama administration is now “passing legislation”
In a May 4 letter to Governor McCrory from Vanita Gupta, the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, McCrory was told he had until the end of the day on May 9 to “remedy these violations of Title VII."
After explaining that the Supreme Court ruled that discrimination based on sex included transgender individuals, they gave examples of court decisions and administrative decisions where Title VII had been applied to transgender discrimination situations.
But then they gave the following U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruling as the “law” they had violated:
“ ‘equal access to restrooms is a significant, basic condition of employment,' and that denying transgender individuals access to a restroom consistent with gender identity discriminates on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII."
Here’s how the Obama administration is now “passing legislation.” They incorporate agency directives into court decisions to try to prove that a law has been violated, taking a narrowly construed regulation and saying it has broad implications. Suddenly an agency directive is said to have the same reach and level of enforcement that the legislation to which they are attaching it has. In other words, an unelected official’s decision for his agency is given the significance of legislation that has to be passed by the House and the Senate and signed by the President. And the only thing keeping this from becoming the law of the land is a judge or judges who understand that attempting to make an agency directive into federal law is unconstitutional and then adjudicate accordingly.
