This graph says it all, really.1 Republicans are for the rich. It's that simple.
Why do so many poor and middle-class people vote for them?
1: Well, not really. It doesn't show the cuts to social programs that the Republican tax plan necessarily implies because of the reduction in net tax revenues, which generally hit low-income folks harder.

Most companies hire their senior managers from outside these days. Despite the factors you mention, few people who are stellar line-level employees make stellar executives. Of course, few people make stellar executives, period, regardless of what school's MBA they have. Heck, few people make stellar line-level employees, too. What I'm saying is that it's not the same people. Also, training people up is a cost and a risk (they might leave after getting the training, and they'll probably expect more money: "I absolutely expect them to provide said incentive to make them money. If they don't, I'll find somewhere else to work."), and most companies want to externalize their costs, so they prefer to hire people who already have the skills and track record.
Your last paragraph is exactly what unions are (supposed to be1) all about.
1: As it is, I think they do way too much big-P politics, but then, so do corporations.
