      A lot of, if not most, folks in that income bracket vote democrat and hate republicans. These are tech folks who voted for Bernie. It isn’t until you add another couple of zeros that you find the people funding the Republican party. 150k isn’t elite, it’s literally just barely middle class in any major city.

        So are you stereotyping democrats as poor and republicans as rich? And only republicans tout trickledown? Oh, and if you voted for any trickledown policies, you have to be a rich elite? Please. Saying six digits is middle class is elite speech. Maybe in tech hubs like California and Washington, but in the REST of America, 6 digits is still upper class. Or at the least upper echelon of middle.

        Personally I know many people in that “bracket” and lower that DO give to the GOP and vote for them too. They even vote for trickledown policies because they believe they are rich and they will benefit. I’d love to see some statistics on your claim that a lot if not most people in the middle class vote blue.

        And other thing, there is a metric fuckton of blue and white collar work out there that makes six digits. Not everyone that makes that much is in the tech sector.
