because not all common people are stupid.
They understand that "big business" is who they get their paycheck from and once you kill the golden goose, there is no more paycheck.
Or it could be that they are smart enough to understand that the wealthy already pay for 50% of every government subsity they receive and are morally balanced enough to not be looking to soak them for more.
Or perhaps they're smart enough to understand that they will one day be wealthy and therefore are looking out for their future interests.
Or perhaps they don't like being patronized by race baiting, class warfare con artists.
