Rhodes: "It's not just trickle-down but distilled"

Randi notes that the rationale behind the 3-Martini lunch hand-out in the stimulus bill is that it's to stimulate the restaurant business. She wonders though why it has to pass through the rich who write-off their lunch bill instead of just giving the restaurants and their workers the money directly. She nails it when she said the rich assume they're the only ones who know how to spend money responsibly, unlike we the people who will do crazy things like buy food or pay rent. That's how the aristocrats see themselves and us. Hence we only get the leftover crumbs on the plates of the rich who get their meals and alcohol on tax money they made us pay!
