Only for a sufficiently vague definition of worked. Getting money into the hands of people who will spend it on consumption has historically worked the best at stimulating GDP growth. Trickle down does not grow the GDP as fast as more progressive measures. The reason I am not backing my claims with data is that it has already been done on this list.
