In part I agree with you, greed drives many of the top 1%
Why then do the the some of the other 99% vote republican?
1. A sense of superiority. I know many university students who came from low income backgrounds (especially those in the fields of medicine and education) vote conservative as a means of stating their new perceived higher class. Which is total bull.
2. "Der laaaawd asks that we stand against this Caaaamunist abomination!" (a.k.a: Rich people tell me who to vote for).
3. Stupidity.
