I'm not talking about the evil orchestrating bastards at the top. I'm talking about the average person that you and I would talk to. Since the bastards were a lot more subtle like you said, there were a lot of average people who just wanted lower taxes and more fiscal responsibility, and didn't know anything about all of the other stuff you said. Hell, some of that stuff wasn't public knowledge until much later.
