It makes sense that people who benefit disproportionately from social spending would be pro-social spending, and vice versa for people who pay disproportionately more into the system. It troubles me to see comments here acting like the rich are all sociopaths, when really, everybody rich and poor is generally going to favor what is in their own best interests.
