I would like to point out that lots of voters don’t vote based on whether it’s more money in their own pocket. Bae is a fine example of this. Lots of us vote based on morality and principle, however we happen to see it.
Back when I was poor I voted republican, and refused food stamps and Medicaid. On principle. Because I thought libertarianism was correct and I thought govt programs were wrong.
Then I became wealthier but my principles changed. So now I’m voting liberal which could raise my taxes - but I don’t care. It’s how I see the world now, based on principles.

Also wanted to add that the stock market is Not the Economy. As we are witnessing right now, an increase in the stock market does not translate to an average American enjoying a successful economy.
