No I never said anyone or everyone. I was simply stating that most people do what's in their own best interest.
So wealthy people will almost always support tax cuts for the wealthy, while poor people will almost always support tax cuts and handouts for the poor.
I live Louisiana, the people here voted for Bush because they wanted to pay less taxes, but they have consistently voted for two democratic senators because they promise and deliver more federal subsidies for the local sugar industry and more navy contracts for the shipyards. So they voted for less taxes and more spending.
So either they're really bad at math, or it was self interest all the way in both elections.
