People who are brought up thinking that anyone can realize the american dream by working hard.
People brought up idolizing the entrepreneur even if that guy owns a single mediocre performing store.
People that have been raised to believe trickle down economics works...and will discount any science saying it doesn't (or doesn't work nearly as well as it's proponents say it will) as coming from left wing organizations (i.e. evil left wing universities).
People that believe a company will take tax cuts and hire more workers because they have more money to do so.
People who don't understand that companies only hire people if they believe doing so can further increase profits. A company welcomes a tax cut but is only going to re-invest that money if it sees market growth opportunities. It's hard to imagine how getting a tax cut changes the business model.
Now tax cuts to the rich and corporations can have small affect on GDP...but for the 95% the tiny change would take something like half a century to result in a 5% income increase. The only thing it has proven to do is increase wealth inequality.
