"...it's already proven trickle-down does not work,"

Wrong assumption. Wealth is not like a zero sum game, where there is a pile of it out there waiting to be distributed according to the best strategy.

Wealth is produced by ingenuity and effort. Where there was a patch prairie grass there can be corn, wheat, biofuel, livestock, windmills, factories, small businesses and major corporations etc producing wealth for those who've been innovative enough to develop it. If those industries weren't viable some innovative persons could try something different and create new opportunities for wealth. Those who've produced wealth also provide the justification for support industry and service which raises the income of persons who did not create the primary valuable assets but become beneficiaries of it. In this manner even the least innovative person with hands to perform labor can contribute and benefit from productive wealth.

Wealth is produced and where it is mutually beneficial it is shared. It has never worked any other way... unless you think 7 billion people would live in peace and harmony on available prairie grass.
