Almost as bad as the worst interpretation of "trickle down economics" I can think of.
Though it's interesting to note that the whole concept does not get better however you try to describe it.
I believe the horse and sparrow theory is what the Roman's did. Clearly that empire is strong today right?
It's always been a tounge-in-cheek or derogatory description, like pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, meant to cut through distracting rhetoric: Either make economic policy for the many, or the few will instead horde all they can and pee and poop on the many.
