A common misconception. Whether voters THINK they will benefit from tax breaks to the rich is endogenous. That’s part of what Fox News, or their mega-church-preachers try to influence. Presumably so they can get away w/ passing bills like this.https://twitter.com/sorkinese/status/937016519472672769 …

The majority of voters in all camps is not rich, and against tax breaks for the rich. They always are. Popularity is not why politicians do it, but they have clear incentives

I agree that that’s ALSO going on. But many more do support policies that benefit rich and corporations than are actually rich or CEO’s. B/c weird beliefs and ideologies. Eg trickle down.

Absolutely. People tend to have strong opinions on policies based on norms and narratives, sometimes without considering actual outcomes.
