"Tax cuts for the wealthy always trickle down and boost the economy!"
This classic misrepresentation ignores decades of economic data showing that tax cuts primarily benefiting the wealthy have historically produced minimal economic growth relative to their cost, while significantly increasing wealth inequality.
"Government spending is always wasteful and inefficient!"
This oversimplification ignores that government programs like Medicare have lower administrative costs than private alternatives, and that public investments in infrastructure, research, and education have driven economic growth and innovation throughout U.S. history.
"The climate has always changed naturally, so humans aren't responsible!"
This misleading claim ignores that current warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate that coincides with human carbon emissions, and that natural climate cycles have been thoroughly studied and cannot explain current temperature increases.
