That in most cases employees get paid before profits are issued to stockholders. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/thomas-sowell-on-the-trickle-down-myth-workers-are-always-paid-first-and-then-profits-flow-upward-later-if-at-all/ https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/451369?journalCode=edcc https://fee.org/articles/there-is-no-such-thing-as-trickle-down-economics/
