As a member of a recently lambasted ivory tower, it matters to me because the way those poor people vote directly affects my quality of life vis-a-vis, republican rulers of our shared government. It's a form of coercion that's described well by Ayn Rand actually. Pay off the bums so they leave you alone. To quote another author I love so much 'Once you pay danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.'
