“Watch out, President Trump!
Basketball legend Charles Barkley sarcastically mocked Republican economic theories on Thursday night, saying he would "trickle my fat ass down to the jewelry store" to treat himself to a luxury timepiece rather than use his tax cut windfall to help the poor.
On the TNT show Inside the NBA, Barkley was asked about what presents he received this holiday season—and the wealthy ex–power forward said, “That Republican tax cut” before launching into a blistering critique of “trickle-down economics,” the conservative theory that tax cuts for the wealthy stimulate economic growth.
“I’m going to trickle my fat ass down to the jewelry story and get me a new Rolex,” he said. “I’m not going to pass it to nobody.”
Critics of the Republican tax bill, which President Donald Trump signed into law on Friday morning, say it helps rich people more than it benefits poor and middle-class Americans—and justifies that because the wealthy and corporations will use their savings to create broader economic growth.”
