I recently asked myself before mentioned question, it doesn't make any sense in my head or the people I speak with. Why Americans often the lower classes actively votes against higher minimum wages and work laws and other similar things. Quite frankly I cannot understand why.
Note: I'm Danish so I'm very much biased since I live in a country with some of the world's best work laws which we can thank our Unions for mainly. Our minimum wage is 22 dollars we get at least 3 weeks paid vacation and generally we get at least 14 days paid sick leave (depending on your work)
My theory is that Americans are so scared of taxes that they will never tolerate tax raises for welfare, even though tax paid healthcare and welfare is MUCH more cost effective since you remove the capitalistic profit incentive?
Sorry just curious no hate meant:)
