The Conspiracy Against The Trickling Down Effect.... Part Two

My curiosity on this subject has been provoked by the recently appointed salary commission to look onto the real income of the workers.

Many are now seeing the salary commission as a new possibility that might herald a new dawn in this era of economic hardship. Although reality and expectations never cordially co-exists many are expecting the commission to serve as an anti-poverty measure across all our societal stratification.


Nevertheless, similarly I guess it's about time now that we should all now be concerned with the extent and speed at which our country's wealth is trickling down to reach the hands of the poor, even the poorest in our social strata. The "trickling down process" is simply a diffusion process of economic gains and wealth of a country from the hands of the bourgeois class to the poorest people in our society.
