Ever since President Calvin Coolidge slashed taxes in the Roaring Twenties, Democrats have pejoratively described conservative tax proposals as "Trickle-down economics." The liberal contention is that tax cuts-particularly for the top rate - do not spur economic growth for middle and lower income Americans.
The NFL kneeling protests followed a similar script.
The players claimed to be protesting inequitable treatment within the judicial system.
The week after President Trump demanded that protesting players be fired or suspended, the number of demonstrating players ballooned from about 25 to over 150.
A month later, protest volumes essentially returned to pre-Trump levels.
Neither Berkeley nor Yale have staged or planned protests for these disenfranchised groups.
Economics are about leveraging limited resources - or capital - to build wealth.
