"people of far greater means" drastically supported Clinton over Trump and look what happened. Money does not equal political power. This really isn't the tech

  Actually, across the country, Trump handily won voters who made more than $50k/year.

    What was the breakdown of households making over $250K/year? (I don't actually know and a few minutes spent googling didn't turn up anything conclusive/satisfying.)

      Trump won by 2% in that category. Lots of info here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/election-exit-polls.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/el...

        Thanks for that link! Some fascinating (and frustrating) data there.

          Forgive my saying, but I don't think it's that frustrating. I really do expect rich people to vote for a ham sandwich if that ham sandwich runs as a Republican. Unless they're unusually far-sighted rich people who really care about ecological and sociological stability for maintaining their wealth, a lot of those tax plans must just sound too damned appetizing to pass up.
