Remember that one time when the state of Kansas enacted huge tax cuts that produced no meaningful economic growth and nearly bankrupted the state?
Six years later, even the GOP realized they had fucked up and the legislature rolled back most of the prior cuts. And yet there are still lots of people who are too stupid to understand that investments in public infrastructure and public welfare pay off way more than any tax cuts.
Stupidity, or wilful ignorance based on an ideology which they prefer to reality?
Some people just hate the idea of their money supporting people who have less than them, because they are right wing. And the definition of right wing is “Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable…” They, quite honestly, want the outgroups to live in filth. And they would trade some of their own potential prosperity for that.
Humans, as a whole, will knowingly trade a future world for their children for the convenience of driving down the road, after all.
