1. Republican philosophy in practice

"Oklahoma is suffering its own budget crisis after years of cutting income tax rates for the state's top earners. Cuts went into effect in 2009; then taxes were lowered further in 2012 and 2014. The tax cuts didn't lead to an economic boom as promised. Instead, they triggered a massive budget gap and school funding cuts, and ended up shifting the tax burden to lower-income families."

Emphasis added. Republican tax cuts and trickle-down have been tried again and again across the country. This always seems to be the result. And yet, Republicans never learn.
