It's a simple economic calculation.

Let's say I have $130k+ in college loans. Would voting for a particular person (or a set of people over the rest of my life) give me $130k+ in direct benefits? Probably not.

The more poignant conclusion here is that our votes are actually worth very little.

Another conclusion is that "values" are more important than money, and we vote to establish values, not to make money.
