I'm sick and tired of hearing this refrain. It assumes people have no internal values and just vote for things based on how it will personally benefit them, which is not true. People can and do vote for things that give no benefits to them if it aligns with their concept of fairness. In this case, if you believe a person deserves to keep as much of their income as possible, you will vote for lower taxes, because it feels right.
