Trojan horse

“Reagan's theory was really "trickle down" economics borrowed from the Republican 1920s (Harding-Coolidge-Hoover) and renamed "supply side." Cut tax rates for the wealthy; everyone else will benefit. As Reagan's budget director David Stockman confided to me at the time, the supply-side rhetoric "was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate." Many middle-class and poor citizens figured it out, even if reporters did not.”

“I put it to you, Minister, that you are looking a Trojan horse in the mouth.”

“Politics: a Trojan horse race.”

“Songs can be Trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind.”

“Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.”
