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.

Would that this government lack of interference worked all the way around (that is - personal responsibility for the rich and corporate fiduciary responsibility for corporations) in this model.

Also would that this "little government interference" applied to social matters such as not feeling compelled to legislate hetoresexuality.

I will believe the Republicans "we want small government and minimal interference" lines when they put their money where their mouth is. All I see is pandering to rich interests as well as a large desire to legislate morality according to a specific standard.

Well, I won't argue with that!
