TD has been referred plenty, not under than name. You'll find a bunch of economist views (positive and negative) under supply side theories which is often steeped in trickle down theory.
And then the article promotes TD under the logic; "the sequence of payments is directly the opposite of what is assumed by those who talk about a ‘trickle down’ theory. The workers must be paid first and then the profits flow upward later – if at all." based on a couple of examples and his loose theory without any real research.
There are plenty of proper studies to the contrary available with an easy google.
A: We need to impose 100% tax on the top 10%, to achieve economic growth and lower inequality.
B: This isn't even wrong, this is asinine.
A: Oh, trickle-down much?
Why do this? Naturally, because genuinely debubunking the specific arguments against high tax rates is a lot harder than joking about the bourgeoise that promote TD because of their greed.
