Rich people don't create jobs; customers do

9. Can't be stressed enough, Not only that, the notion really angers conservatives

I notice in talking ( arguing ) with conservatives; ones other than paranoid gun nuts or racists, that they get really defensive, like Defcon 5, when I trash supply-side economics and promote demand-side. It's like holding a cross in front of a vampire's face. They can argue or disagree on any other point, but questioning trickle-down really really puts them on edge and they get almost panicky in defense of it.

I say it's cognitive dissonance because to them it's a tribal partisan article of faith and the empirical evidence mounting against it is too much for them.

There is no way they can chicken/egg their way out of it: No citizen can be a consumer without in turn being paid for producing first.
