Isn't there a Bible passage about "...falling on fertile soil...?" Yup, the Rep. P. rooted its opportunistic snout into the deepest, manure-fertilized bottomland of America. So many of the core rotten instincts are the eternal worst of humanity: it's a long list, but reverse snobbery against the "pointy-headed" is particularly interesting because it is so connected to anti-semitism. But your point about how hard it is to admit being wrong is so crucial. Especially with the intensity that has been whipped up by the exploiters, it's hard to have hope that many of the victims could possibly find the courage to re-assess.
I agree, which is what confidence crooks hope for, "Just a little more money will release the funds." And I'm think of a lady I know, a lovely woman but extremely conservative. She said she wanted the low income taxes of the Eisenhower era to come back. When I replied that they were quite high she paused and then said, "No they weren't." You can't argue with that sort of logic.
Oh, dear, go to my reply to well-intentioned "Teach1" below. I guess the colloquialism is "conversation-stopper." Just think what the lady would have thought if you'd told her the rates on high-earners! You would have morphed into that crazy ol' "Purple-People-Eater!"
