The one thing that does seem to trickle down are the 'advantages' of free markets. Free markets and capitalism are objectively good at one thing: growth. This has historically led to benefits, though those have disproportionately benefited the wealthy.
And this may only appear to be good as the dramatic costs of this growth are being born by the poorest and future generations so, at best, it is dramatically overstated.
