Economically so, yes. They tend to want to entrench their wealth and not fetter it with taxes on programs that don’t benefit their interests.

What about axes other than economic and foreign policy? There are many government policies in effect that large parts of the right strenuously object to.

In fact, even on foreign policy, I'd be surprised if the forever wars in the middle east enjoy majority support among the right. Isn't isolationism also right-wing? If it's at all helpful to classify policies into 'left' and 'right'..

Social and cultural axes exist, yes. That’s why I specified economically right-wing.

Isolationism could be left wing or right wing.
