125. No problem at all. Liberals know that the economy was better b/f centrism took hold.
If the "electric" period (Centrism, off shoring tax cuts for the Kochs, etc) of the 80's- to present was more lucrative than the acoustic period of the 50's & 60's (Liberalism, top 1% taxed at 90%, every thing made in the USA, etc)then you would have a point. The folkies (Liberals) would be off base for booing.

Your metaphor does not work b/c in real life, Dylan made more money after leaving the folkies (Liberal economic policies). In reality, the USA is poorer after "going electric"- not richer like Dylan was.

We dont have to speak in metaphors- just look at the liberal economy of the 50's 60's and compare it to the centrist & conservative polices we have been creeping toward since the 80's.
