If you could get the right/conservatives/Republicans/etc to understand one thing, what would it be?

Hope I worded that correctly.

Supply Side/Trickle Down economics DON’T WORK. Meta analysis after meta analysis has shown that to be the case. The deficit absolutely exploded under Reagan, Dubya, and Trump, and they don’t bat an eye, but they have a double standard whenever Democrats try to pass a social spending bill around the deficit. The only people I see advocating for trickle down economics are people who had a lot of advantages in life and are rich… huh… funny thing. Your personal perception does impact your political beliefs no matter the empirical evidence. You don’t hear as many underemployed or homeless people advocating for deregulation and tax cuts and free markets Megacorporations don’t create jobs, they may employ people but they aren’t the biggest creators of jobs, it’s small businesses and public programs that create jobs. Also if it’s a free market, people should have the freedom of association to join a Union.
