In neo-Keynsian "Modern Monetary Theory", capitalists are at the bottom of the Downfall set. However the game is played, the counters all eventually end up there. Taxing capitalists takes the tokens out at the end of one round of the game, and public spending puts tokens in the top, so a new round can start.

As in "trickle-down", the more tokens move through the economy to businesses and workers. So the more often counters get moved from the bottom to the top, the better off everyone is.
