I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    "Trickle-down economics." They're literally saying, "we're pissing on you."

    They also love to say, "a rising tide lifts all boats." Unless, of course, you don't have a boat and we know what happens to them. How well the stock market is doing means literally fark-all to most of us.

    "Of course it's true! Supply side economics is the cornerstone doctrine of colleges of economics the world over!"

    And the entrenched, generational capital that fund/endow the most prestigious colleges of economics, that the rest want to be like, clearly stand to gain nothing ensuring global economic theory revolves around give the owner class all the money and pray for rain.
