Just the ladies, now!
When I was a teenager, I read books by Rush Limbaugh, and realized that Trickle-Down Economics just make sense.

So, if you can still access that part of your brain, out of curiosity, what just made sense about it? What makes Mr. Limbaugh persuasive?

I had a child's grasp of economics, and was willing to accept whatever information was presented to me in a reasonably persuasive manner. I don't remember Limbaugh being a terrible author (assuming he wrote his own books), so the books were good enough to convince me.

Also, I hadn't given up on earn some approval from my parents, so my beliefs tended to skew toward agreeing with them.
