Yeah the chuds who spout this BS are typically business administration majors who took Macro 101 and maybe 1 or 2 elective econ courses and think they know more than like, most professional economists.
(Of course capitalist economists are hugely problematic but by and large they don't buy the Austrian / libertarian nonsense. Usually some flavor of Keynesian. Of course, thanks to the Koch brothers and others there are plenty of econ profs who teach basic econ courses at middling colleges who are libertarian nuts).
Don't conservatives have a shit understanding of economics if they're espousing trickle down mumbo jumbo (which most of them do)?

The best response to the "basic economics" shit from chuds is just to point out that, broadly speaking, the poorest states in the US are red states.
