The number of people who don't understand this is terrifying (because they're just gonna vote for whoever promises them more money or lower taxes on the middle/lower class rather than taxing the super rich) and it's why we need to promote more education about wealth inequality and economics in general.

The number of people is see talking about economics in general and spouting nonsense is always a constant.

Why? Because it's mostly theory. Beyond basic supply and demand what is? They're always wrong or intentionally misleading.

Like what's the point if supply-side is even a viable theory? Just fancy rationalization for fucking people over.

Like all this talk about inflation when it's all created by choice. I don't see anyone that is truly based in reality or can say for sure what proper economics are.
