Trickle-Down Economics

Trickle-down economics is a theory that suggests providing benefits, such as tax cuts or incentives, to wealthy individuals and businesses will eventually benefit everyone. The idea is that when these groups have more resources, they will invest, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth, which then "trickles down" to the broader population through increased employment and prosperity. Critics argue that this approach can lead to greater income inequality and that the benefits may not always reach lower-income groups as intended. While proponents believe it encourages investment and growth, its actual effectiveness remains debated.
