Conservatives (and businesses are generally conservative) are great at deluding themselves into adopting any strategy that puts money in their pocket over intelligent strategies that would lead to better long-term outcomes, but cost a little more and/or make slightly less profit.
That’s why they stick with Trickle Down Economics, which have poor long-term outcomes for all but the rich, instead of Trickle Up Economics, which helps everyone, even though the inevitable outcome of Trickle Down is a catastrophic shift (for the rich) to Robin Hood Economics (Take from the rich, Give to the poor).
