    I mean the small government types are not the ones who typically pay attention to what actually is shown to work or not work.

    Their view is big govt needs big taxes for big spending and big IRS steals people’s hard earned money. No counterpoint or evidence will ever persuade them otherwise because it’s a core belief that is largely beyond questioning.
