Why do working class voters support a candidate that advocates tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy?
Answer:"Lack of detailed policy knowledge: Many voters do not have a full understanding of the intricate details of tax policy or how their own taxes are allocated. This can make them susceptible to simple, emotionally resonant slogans rather than rational analysis.
Misinformation and framing: Candidates often use strategic messaging to frame their tax plans, emphasizing broad tax cuts for all while downplaying the extent to which they primarily benefit the wealthiest. For example, messaging about "tax cuts for working families" can distract from data showing far greater gains for the ultra-rich.
Confirmation bias: Voters often prioritize information that confirms their existing political views. This can lead them to believe that a candidate's policies will benefit them personally, even in the face of contrary evidence, especially if they have an emotional investment in that candidate."

All tax cuts benefit all tax payers equally. Furthermore, it is clear that the question posed was formulated by a Far Left Radical. Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
