This is either bad or good: we have a short memory, since our wisest die off and we are not teaching our young history or economics so we keep repeating stupid stuff, like raising taxes and killing our economy even though our forefathers already proved that cutting taxes grows the revenue and the economy. Also, our forefathers learned from Woodrow Wilson that Progressiveism is not a way to maintain freedom across our country, but we still elect them and reelect them. So the truly big thing to realize is that people are still stupid and will remain that way.
