Mitt Romney must be commended on the line, the identification, the tag; “Trickle-Down Government” will outlast the memory of the shellacking that Romney gave Obama. Simple enough for anyone to understand, it is a denigration of every Utopian Statist “economic / philosophic” construct of centralized planning from the time of the French Revolution to date.
Every Utopian Statist from the French Revolution through the Soviet Union towards modern Greece and the Obama administration has held a similar core belief; that government can if properly conducted can orchestrate a society. It has never worked. It can never work.
It is a repudiation of everything that American Except ual-ism is predicated upon. It is a repudiation of our founding principles. It is a repudiation of Natural Law. It is fundamentally the turning about of the ideas of government wherein the most important relationship in society is between the individual and the individual’s creator (in so however the individual conceives such a relationship) to one of the government, as the be all powerful arbiter of rights.
It is in the end, the end of the American experiment (the American Revolution) and it is the subservience of the idea to the French Revolutionary one.
The advocates of a Centralized Collective Authority who like to call themselves “Liberals” or “Progressives” are in truth “statists.” Statists like to mock American ideas and in truth prefer the French model of Political Revolution to the American Model of Societal Evolution (Natural Law.) The term “Trickle down Government” is so clever because it reverses the Statist term of “Trickle down Economics.”
The term “Trickle down Economics” itself began as a “statist” “dig” at Ronald Reagan’s reintroduction of supply side economics after years of failed government orchestrated policy ala “The Great Society.” Supply Side economics are in fact “natural” or realistic economics and is the actual economics that made America such an economic powerhouse to begin with.
The beautiful and deeper meaning of the term “Trickle down Government” is that it goes far beyond just the economics of the issues indeed. It describes the larger philosophical belief of the Staists who believe that a utopia can be created on Earth be orchestrating society by political means.
The term “Trickle down Government” is so clever that I will adopt it myself.
And this term, I predict, will continue to serve Americans in eliciting an eye opening paradigm shift for the confused, away from the French model back towards the American model.

Ike was a master of this tactic My brother spent time in Europe during WW2 as a member of Ike's Chemical Warfare Service,a phantom unit. Even he didn't know!
Comment by Barry Gabrielson on October 14, 2012 at 6:11pm Its time for companies all over this country to notify employees that voting for the wrong person will have consequences. Go ahead and vote for this Socialist/Communists, to destroy this capitalism. Then lose your job.
This also goes for the government employees because without the big business, there is no government jobs. Voting now has consequences, personal consequences.
Comment by Thomas on October 14, 2012 at 4:55pm Dump down cost, trickle up wealth.
Dump down cost is functionally an essential component of trickle down goverment. When governments spend more money regardless of for what purpose, the already wealthy will acquire and accrue greater wealth.
Comment by Billy Bowlegs on October 14, 2012 at 4:54pm Interesting theory, especially about creating a utopia on earth by political means, andelicting an eye opening paradigm shift.
I attended a SEMINAR on how to shift a paradigm over twenty years ago. As the seminar began early on, the instructor wanted someone to give a definitive story of a paradigm shift. Of course I had one.
It seems that during WW II, the Americans were strapped for fighting cash so they made sillouette guns out of wood and gave them to the army to teach recruits how to handle, carry, and shoot guns.
Shortly thereafter as the new recruits arrived in the European Theatre, they ran out of bullets in their real guns right in the middle of a barrage of attacks. So the old recruits/new soilders stood up and pointed their weapons at the charging enemy and yelled 'BANG" "BANG" "BANG" and the German soldiers just laid down as if shot.
That was an amazing event, except there was one huge giant of a man at 6'8", around 450 pounds that would not fall and as he approached the squad he just ran over each of the standing soldiers yelling BANG BANG and stomped them into the ground. As he stormed off behine their lines, they could hear him shouting, "TANK" "TANK" "TANK"/
If we want this country we need to yell "VOTE ROMNEY" "VOTE ROMNEY" "VOTE ROMNEY", or,
the Paradigm will be "OBOZO S***" "OBOZO S***" "OBOZO S***". and your utopia becomes the "bingo ditch scenario with you and me ducking as the COMMUNIST tell us what to do.
Comment by Ronald L. Burcham on October 14, 2012 at 4:53pm The ABO man is at it again, talking conservatese but probably not meaning or understanding a word of it. Good for him for coming up with a catchy ditty. He had better live up to it or he's toast in 2016.
Now it is up to the Tea Party to live up to its reputation hold his feet to the fire and force him to reduce spending and the size of government. I hope the Republicans do better on the debt ceiling under his tutelage. They haven't done so good under Bo(eh)ner's leadership.
Romney didn't exactly warm my heart talking about balancing the budget in ten years. The budget has to be cut $1.5 trillion the first year or the dollar is going in the tank and us with it, probably, within the next two years.
I'm not exactly overwhelmed with his ideas of keeping the wars going and increasing the size of an already bloated military by 15 ships per year and 100,000 troops. Our military is holding down the "Great United States Empire" in 130 countries on more than 900 bases. We already outspend the Russian and Chinese navies and land forces by more than two to one. How many undeclared wars wars does Romney want our troops to be maimed and die in under HIS ORDERS?
I really don't think he qualifies as a Tea Party candidate. He's too big on government. He's a control freak (would have signed NDAA). He's an Establishment big spender all the way until he proves otherwise. Until the Republicans come up with a presidential candidate who isn't a RINO, the Tea Party will have to grin and bear him -- but first -- he's got to get himself elected.
Comment by Joel Grimes on October 14, 2012 at 4:31pm American exceptionalism is alive, and will recover as we are able to put the fear of God into traditional politicians by canning them if they do not hold the citizenry as the boss!
Comment by Dick Neusse on October 14, 2012 at 3:11pm Honest American, your Democratic party has left you behind. Trickle down Government, I like that phrase, gonna face book it right now.

Comment by Clarence E. DeBarrows on October 14, 2012 at 2:23pm Here we go again endlessly blaming the government and the politicians for the mess we're in! It is "We the People" who empower these idiots! We elect them! We continue to re-elect them! With those facts in mind, who is to blame? If you started a company and down the road found yourself with a bunch of managers and workers who accomplished little or nothing, demanded more pay and all the while undermined the basic concepts you initially implemented while fouling up the machinery which produced your product, would you keep them on? We are enabling two classes of people who are destroying our Country. The first class are crooked, lazy, pontificating politicians who we elect and who pander to the second class, the congenital ne'er-do-wells who don't, and won't, work or assume personal responsibility for themselves. They are the "entitlement" minded who are taking our Country down with the help of complicit politicians who will do and say anything to stay in office. WE empower these people! Add to that the fact that those same politicians, on both sides of the aisle are by and large Obama supporters - how many have challenged him on the "natural born Citizen" requirement of Article II of our Constitution? Add to that they are, by and large, liberal progressive, Marxist global thinkers, intent on gutting our Constitution, just like Obama and Clinton, and we have a threat of epic proportions facing our Nation today. If this election goes the wrong way you can be sure of one thing, American Citizens, themselves, have allowed the final nail to be driven in the coffin of the Constitution thereby causing to pass in to history the noble concept of American Exceptionalism.
Comment by James William Olmes Rogers on October 14, 2012 at 1:57pm "Trickle-Down Government!" Now why didn't I think of that phrase? How apt! How descriptive!
To Mitt Romney and whatever wordsmith thought of the phrase, BRAVO!!!
We know who will be voting for BHO's reelection ~ now we can tag them as "Trickle-Downers!"
Let's hope we cast more vote than the "Trickle-Downers!"
