and was given a whole other lecture on why supply side worked. I had no way of testing out that theory. It was presented as a great theory (it didn't focus on the laffer curve). I believed it. I'm guessing that many bought in. But the powermongers at the top knew it was just a way to get what had been denied to them in the 20th century so far (more money and power). I think probably many more people were (are) duped, than knew the truth. I believe there are many truths the GOP are hiding from the public. Whereas the Democrats always want to share with the public when they figure something out. With the exception of national security of course. Cause knowledge is power. Democrats want the people to be powerful and the GOP don't. These days I'd love get a look-see at what the GOP and 1% are sitting on knowlwdgewise.
