I continue to be perplexed why those who have done well support Mitt Romney. Don't the well-to-do realize that a vote for Romney is a vote against their very own self-interests?

America's economic greatness is rooted in our free market capitalism. Romney intends to remake our country along the lines of European socialism, with burdensome regulations and crippling restraints on the unfettered free market.

Those who have done will financially are often well-educated and quite intelligent. It's unfathomable how those who have fared so well would support anyone who seeks to dismantle the economic core of America, a country that has so abundantly blessed them. The well-to-do are aligning themselves with the OWS thugs and union goons by supporting any leftist, whether it be Romney or Obama.

Why are those who have succeeded forming an alliance with their enemies?

Because they're poor in spirit (giggles).

Also, they're either social liberals or they're trying to protect their image and not look like a greedhead. You can see this in Romney himself. Earlier in the campaign he said he couldn't talk about cutting taxes because he's rich, and it would look bad. It's regional too. The richer areas of the country are usually the most liberal ones. And nothing defines more every aspect of what you'll be like more than the people around you. Also, higher education tends to turn people liberal due to brainwashing, and those people tend to be wealthier.

If the donors are actually acting rationally, then they're probably looking for a specific payout from Mitt in the form of favorable government policy. So if the rest of the country suffers economically, they'll still be okay. Keep in mind he's been the frontrunner for a while, so some people are just backing him because they expect him to win and want to lay the groundwork for a good business relationship with the future prez. It worked out great for the Solyndra guys.
