Trickle-Down Economics
Do “grown men” really believe in trickle-down economics? I doubt it. Politicians purport to believe in all sorts of crap that they know for a fact doesn’t exist.
Do you think all these U.S. representatives and senators in red states believe the election was rigged, or that climate change is a hoax, or that vaccinations are dangerous/ineffective? Of course not.
In general, these people are well-educated people. The problem is that most of their constituents are total boobs.
You want to run for the senate in Oklahoma on the platform of exposing the truth about Donald Trump or aggressive climate change mitigation? You’d have an easier time flying to the moon on a surf board.
