"Cognitive dissonance occurs when a long held assumption or existing belief is thrown into question by new or contradictory information, causing a person to re-interpret this evidence after it has been presented to justify a falsely held notion. The theory refers to the phenomenon of the mind's failure to assume its equilibrium after having to accept an unwelcome intrusion of this kind into its 'comfortably held assumption zone'. It results in a willful refusal to acknowledge that a shift in perception has even occurred. When exposed to information inconsistent with his/her beliefs, such a person remains fiercely loyal to the original falsehood to prevent an increase in the magnitude of dissonance felt in the face of a humiliating confrontation with inconvenient facts." In spite of enough evidence on hand that 1. supply side economics is real with enough evidence on hand that 2. total tax revenues increase when taxes are cut in a situation of over taxation (our) libs just refuse to accept that. A typical case of Cognitive Dissonance. The reality is the opposite of what one believes, thus ignore the reality and keep on believing. Taro
