Trickle down economics?

One afternoon an investment banker was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, “Why are you eating grass?”

“We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied. “We have to eat grass.”

“Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the banker said.

“But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.”

“Bring them along,” the banker replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, “You come with us, also.”

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, “But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!

“Bring them all, as well,” the banker answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the banker and said, “Sir, you are too kind.”
“Thank you for taking all of us with you.”

The banker replied, “Glad to do it.

“You’ll really love my place.

“The grass is almost a foot high.
