Trickle-down economics

Trickle-down economics is a theory that says if the government gives tax breaks or other economic benefits to the rich people (the "top" of society), then some of the money that the rich people get from those breaks will eventually "trickle down" to the people at the "bottom" of society in the form of jobs, higher wages, and better services. It is thought that this will help everyone in society, not just the rich people.
