High-income, highly educated people often vote for liberal Democrats for two reasons: guilt and mythology. It is not unusual for these folks to think they won the genetic lottery unfairly. They were born in the right ZIP code to the right parents and with the right genes. They feel guilty about that.

The mythology is regularly repeated by Paul Krugman: Republicans favor the rich and Democrats favor the poor and the middle class. The problem: Krugman’s view of the world is a myth.
