Is that a rethorical question?
It's quite simple, if the tea collective could actually "learn" something, the compassionate conservative hive mind and the GOP would cease to exist.
That's also the reason why they're against education and big supporters of home "schooling", otherwise they could never get new recruits.
New Deal set the stage for a new society. FDR made it easier for workers to unionize, and started taxing the rich at confiscatory levels. It didn't hurt that first the war and later the baby boom put everyone back to work. The result, as you can see above, was the creation of the American middle class. Between 1940 and 1970, the bottom 90 percent went from making, on average, $12,000 to $33,000. The top 1 percent, meanwhile, were stuck making "only" $300,000 this whole time. It's what economists call the "Great Compression," and it was a story about workers having the bargaining power to ask for higher wages and the rich not having much reason to ask for higher wages themselves. That's because top marginal tax rates were so high—at their peak, 94 percent—that it wasn't worth it for CEOs to pay themselves that much more. Besides, that was just something executives didn't do back then. George Romney, for example, turned down a $100,000 bonus in 1960—and those are unadjusted dollars—because he didn't think anyone needed to make that much more.

If low education were a factor, wouldn't the GOP garner 95% of black and 75% of Hispanic votes?

I don't think that's fair. Hispanic, and even blacks, have the ability to learn. They may have to apply themselves a little harder, but I think their culture holds them back in the same way it helps East Asians progress.
They could, but then they would have to cut back on the racist propaganda first.
And that would require them to "learn" something so that's not an option.
You can tell these history ignorant retards that fact a million times and they will continue to ignore it, they are a one trick pony, they just think high tax rates...

So, unions were responsible for the Post War boom?
THe fact that the rest of the world had been bombed flat and thus could NOT compete with US, AND needed to rebuild had nothing to do with it?
Not a personal attack but a very serious philosophical question. I have spoken with very few conservatives that are "deep" and even fewer that regularly reconsider their initial reaction to anything.
They could, but then they would have to cut back on the racist propaganda first.

You really do not have to prove that conservatives do not have the ability of self-reflection or to subject their core beliefs to critical analysis. I already know.
