If you see yourself at or near the top of the ladder, you vote Rep because you believe in self-reliance, personal responsibility and a hands-off government.
Perfectly put Benz. The mostly Cuban-Hispanic population here in Fl is the same way. Those who have made good for themselves are Repub by nature and the ones who are "needy" go Democratic. I truly believe it holds true for all races though.

Simply a matter of self reliance or dependence. Damn bro, your a lawyer, you know what I'm talkin' about.
