Most republicans I know dont like CEO's or the rich any more than the average Dem. They are are for a smaller more streamlined Gov. Most Rep. I know believe that the Fed should operate on a bal. budget and stick to it.
That sort of makes sense, but again, why would they feel that way as opposed to college educated voters?
Interesting idea but if you look at the average income of those without a college degree, around $30k in this country, they are getting back far more in government services than they pay in.
Obviously, there are individuals who make much more than that, but we are talking about the behavior of the high school educated as a group. So at 30k a year, you pay very little in taxes, and get more in government services than the average college graduate. Seems odd.
take all that money stolen by forced theft by the goverment and see how much those same people make. 30k with no taxes paid is alot of money. theft by goverment makes it worse for all citizens.
might seem odd to you, but alot of people I know that are republican or Libertarian want smaller goverment, not more instrusive goverment. something that both moderate repulicans and democrats want.

But if this is a basic truth, than those who are college educated would have even more money. If it is purely a monetary motive, why are college educated people, who are paying more in taxes not voting the same way?

maybe because those same people who got college degrees on the goverment dime and now have to pay them back to the goverment, now know that goverment helped them, so why not vote for a goverment that will help others, even if those others dont want any help.
"College graduates are three times more likely to vote than high school dropouts, and those who earn more are far more likely to be affiliated with a political organization."
You were saying?
Oh and for the record, college graduates voted for Obame 53% to Romenys 46%

College educated is a mixed bag. You have those who bought into the liberal indoctrination and the PC movement. They are more often people who benefited from mom and dad paving the way for them to succeed. less personal challenge to make ends meet along the way.
Your average HS educated white either entered the work force right out of HS or joined the military. In this enviroment you don't have the support systems and are forced to become less dependent on gov programs etc.
LOL ever work for a college educated kid just out of college? I work in a factory, what is absolutely amazing is how little these kids understand the people they manage. I guess what I am saying is the blue collar worker have different life experiences. Nothing is just handed to us, we had to work and struggle for everything we have. The idea of give away programs is offensive to many of us. Those programs are paid for by taxes. Many of those you are talking about live in small towns and the rual areas. We depend upon ourselves not the gov. Our roads although state and county roads often get plowed by private citizens. If we waited for the state trucks it might be a spring thaw before they were clear.
I certainly dont pretend to speak for all HS white voters, but I think I sum up those in my area.
