Why do poor and middle class conservatives time and again support tax cuts for the rich?

Is it because you think you'll one day be in the top bracket, or that the savings the elite enjoy will trickle down to you? Or is it just something you stomach because you allign with the GOP on most other issues? Help me to understand your beliefs, values, and why this stance on this issue

Because they believe the government doesn't have a right to the hard-earned money of others?

Middle class conservatives generally aren’t communists.

Because it's their money and no one else is entitled to it. It's really that simple.

Yep. Conservatives, unlike liberals, generally believe in upward mobility and that hard work will pay off in the long run.

Because what democrats call rich, I call employed.

Just because you arent personally hurt by something, doesn’t make it morally acceptable nor a good idea.

When has there been a “tax cut for the rich”?
Posted on 1/23/19 at 12:46 pm to jbond
It's simple economics really
Rich people create jobs. Poor and middle class people want jobs and one day hope to be in a position where they can be a job creator. When rich people are over taxed, they hide their money. Therefore, there are no jobs.
This isn't hard to understand.

This talking point Makes zero sense.
Why can’t someone be for broadly low taxes on everyone?
Are poor and middle class people not allowed to have principles?

The fact that you ask this question is proof you have no clue how an economy works.

We're not jealous of rich people to the point that we want to take all their shite. We're jealous to the point that we also want to be rich like them and keep our money.
You probably won't understand that, though

85% of all tax revenue already comes from the top 10% of people......doesn’t that seem fricked up enough?
You think people are going to continue to live here and work here and create amazing companies that employ hundreds of thousands of people if you tax them to death?
ETA: I also think we should be cutting the federal government to nothing. It was never meant to be this big and to need this much tax revenue to fund anyways

Well that took one comment to get the answer to the OP's question.

We just don't like taxes. Why is that so horrible?
