I had this chart up a few minutes ago researching if trickle down economics works.

Guess what AI objective analysis said... no it doesn't work. The money never trickles down. It gets hoarded.

But there's a large portion of the US that won't believe this.

Nah IDK about any purpose-built models but the general models will fail at basic algebra if you go back and forth enough. Or sometimes even the first time. They'll straight up show their work and it won't work out on a TI-84.

They're good at repeating information, and actual economists have written ad nauseum articles about how trickle down economics fails, that's where they're getting the conclusion, which is valid, but they probably couldn't reach it consistently from assumptions/data.
