21. They don't have contempt for them
Fri Dec 30, 2016, 08:01 PM
Dec 2016

Where is this accusation coming from? Liberals don't have that contempt. It would be more likely to come from the right, who will claim to have worked harder and such and deserve their riches.

Further I am intrigued by how people would vote against their own interests over something so childish. Make it worse for themselves because they don't think the east coast educated liberals like them enough.
