How does trickle down economics work?

I read on my favourite Conservative blog that Trump's tax cut will make everyone richer. Like if you give rich people more money then they have more money than everyone else so everyone is rich. I wanna believe this but I'm real confused.

Do these folks go out and be 'job creators' hiring more nannies? I mean what if they just wanna keep the dough or buy a house? Or what if businesses have enough workers? I know Government wastes money and sh*t but I just don't get how wealth is supposed to trickle-down.

Someone who is a marxist in believe in the class struggle fairy tale will never believe in trickle-down economics. The idea is that with tax cuts consumers have more money to spend and therefore corporative sales rise and they employ more workers.

Also, with tax cuts for businesses, they are able to hire more workers, so there is more people with money in their pockets...see first paragraph.

However, something else is required, high tariffs on foreign goods and services so that consumers purchase national products.
