4. The success of trickle-down economics
pivots on whether the beneficiaries of the tax cuts will "share the wealth." And I think it's pretty clear that you don't get rich or stay rich by sharing.

Freepers believe that they will be rich one day, and in the interim, entertain a fantasy that they are part of the "upper middle class" when the reality is that most of them are mortgaged to the eyeballs and one paycheck away from being homeless. When that layoff finally comes their famous "helping hand at the end of their own arm" will rip their threadbare bootstraps from their holey shoes on their way to register as Democrats.

Favorite homemade sign from the '04 campaign: "Are you broke enough yet? Vote Democrat"
