- sokoloff 10y agoWhat 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.)
- harmegido 10y agoTrump 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...
- sokoloff 10y agoThanks for that link! Some fascinating (and frustrating) data there.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoForgive 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.
