The rich people vote for the Democrats on the condition that the Democrats don’t mess with them personally. They have mastered the existing system and are making lots of money, but if the Democrats threatened their cushy lives they would vote GOP in a heartbeat.
People vote for the candidate who brings home the pork. That’s why Manchin wins in West Virginia even though it’s a fairly deep Red state. Why? He brings home the pork, like Sheets did.
A lot of people don't understand this. They question why the really rich like Bezos and Gates vote for democrats. The reason is because they're not affected by democrat tax policies, they're the donors to democratic coffers and in return the tax laws get written to benefit them. Paying taxes is for the middle and upper middle class, the people who typically vote republican. The truly rich get the laws written for their benefit so democrats are their biggest allies.
A good example of how this works is where Biden is vacationing right now. He's in the Virgin Islands staying at the home of Bill and Connie Neville who are billionaire democratic donors. Bill made his billions through a software company. They didn't just offer up their home because of the Biden's sunny disposition and wanting to be regaled with stories of Hunter's crack benders and stripper parties. You can bet that the dems aren't targeting Mr. Neville for more taxes.
