To reinforce that the concept that tax cuts for the wealthy creates growth and jobs is patently false. Some are still uninformed, or in disbelief, despite the data and scientific consensus.

I think calling this a "scientific consensus" is a bit inaccurate. There's very little consensus in economics (and one can argue about the level of science as well).
