Clearly a rhetorical question since the answer lies within the first graphic you posted, though I'm sure there are a lot of people who look at threads like this whose minds cloud over when graphs and numbers appear. There are many obvious answers to economic questions available (i.e. the ones in this thread) that much of the voting populace never sees or understands because they are captivated by propaganda and are not educated. I think it behooves the republicans to keep as much of the populace uneducated and distracted so that they won't see the men behind the curtain. In some ways, the founding fathers had the right idea, severely limiting who had the right to vote, though the corruption inherent in such a scheme is impractical in the long run.
