3. Stupid Is As Stupid Does
And so damn obvious. During the past campaign I was amazed how many people I encountered who swallowed the GOTB claptrap about lower taxes "trickling down" to more jobs. If that was the case, we should have seen a job boom during the boooosh years. Taxing the rich their fair share (that even the old tax rate doesn't do full justice) means more money in local tax coffers for schools and roads and other improvements. But people have been fed the GOTB talking points for so long it assumed they're true despite being proven to be the ultimate big lie.
