That's fair, I don't think the US has had a strong class of RoI conservatives in a long time. Now "fiscal conservative" means more someone who has classically voted Republican but not because of religiosity or because they hate LGBT people. At this point you can't even point to a good reason, beyond a feeling like they want to be taxed less.

If you aren't making somewhere north of half a mil a year, or don't have capital gains (15-50% tax on millions of dollars of inheritance really sucks to worry about), voting conservative might as well be cutting of your nose to spite your face.
