The framers of the Constitution were afraid of allowing the poor to vote. The poor in a majority would vote for their own best interests at the expense of the rich.
Yet in the South, the poor white southernor would fought for the wealthy fought for the South and for the wealthy upper class. Why? Perhaps it was because the poor white Southernor still had status, he was not on the bottom, and still had rank.
But today we have, poor Americans, the bottom of the economic heap voting for the best interests of the upper class. Why? If money, nor status, are the key for people to vote against their own economic self-interests, what is the key?r Were the framers wrong believing self-interest is why people vote? And what of upper-class individuals that vote against their own best interests. For example, when running for president, FDR was labeled as a traitor to his own wealthy class.
I wonder how much money has been poured into this quest to find why people vote as they do?
You're mistaken in believing that the agenda of the Democrat Party benefits the poor. It really only benefits union members and government employees.
