It's hard to imagine that corruption is a rational, or even irrational, reason to vote in Trump.

And the easiest way to reduce inequality is to raise taxes on the rich, which voters also apparently don't support if they're voting Republican.

lol, hard to imagine? You said it not me, didn't even mention Trump, so you imagined it.

Raising taxes on the rich doesn't work because they don't have income in the same way ordinary people do. They take out loans against their assets, use shell companies, use company credit cards etc
