Trickle-Down Economics Isn’t Working — Let’s Try “Mario Kart” Economics Instead

from Just a Guy in a Truck · host Just a Guy

On today’s drive home, I’m talking trickle-down economics, wealth inequality, and why the middle class keeps falling behind.After 40 years of tax cuts for the rich, nothing’s really “trickled down.” So what if we flipped it? Think Mario Kart economics — give the boosts to the people in last place, not the ones already winning.Just a regular guy, paycheck to paycheck, trying to make sense of taxes, housing costs, and why the richest country in the world still feels so hard to live in.No scripts. No jargon. Just real talk from a guy in a truck.
