The right completely fails to understand that national productivity (and security) succeeds and thrives when the mass of citizens are NOT terrified every second (of getting sick; of trying to deal with banks and insurance; of starving). More productivity = more for all (even the billionaires!)

People of at least average intelligence who fail to grasp it are, it seems fair to say, operating on "motivated reasoning." Some may be emotionally damaged--unable to believe in anything other than the zero-sum game.
